1. Entering "invisible" data in a form

Quoting Cecilia Jaeger...
I sat on this one for a day now...  Everyone seems to be dwelling on INVISIBLE
and terminal attributes.  Technotes "Spring 1990" provided this little gem:

Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip
MAIN
    DEFINE  c CHAR(1)           # Get character
    DEFINE  psw CHAR(8)         # Store the password
    DEFINE  i SMALLINT          # Counter

    OPTIONS PROMPT LINE 22
    FOR i = 1 TO 8
        PROMPT "Enter password: " FOR CHAR c
        IF (c IS NULL) THEN     # Check for space or return
            EXIT FOR
        ELSE
            LET psw = psw CLIPPED, c
        END IF
    END FOR
END MAIN
Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip
