INterface Builder & "bulleted" (password style) text field?

Hey everyone, I'm not very adept at Cocoa. I play a bit but don't have a lot of experience. I'm currently working on a little utility that uses mostly AppleScript (Studio) but I figured this is more of a general Cocoa / Interface Builder question anyway. I hope its on topic enough for this list.

As dumb as it sounds I can't seem to figure out how on earth to format a text field to show "bullets" to mask a password field. At this point its pretty superficial since the password in question is being stored as plain text in the user defaults (nice & secure there huh?) but since its for personal use its not really that important. I would just like to know how to mask the user input for my own education and on the off chance that I want to store the password more securely & release the utility for the heck of it.

This may be a simple thing & I might be blind for not seeing a checkbox or something somewhere, but even searching google & the IB help I can't seem to find anything. I wouldn't even know where to begin to look in Cocoa docs.

Any advice would be so great.  Thanks in advance.
