   Hi,

   I'm putting together a demo of Telnet using Authorware, but got
   stuck with a problem... in the screen I'm simulating as the Telnet
   screen, I'm trying to make the text input for the password invisible,
   as it's supposed to be when you're logging on.  Tried putting a white
   box on top of it - didn't work; the input box apparently has a higher
   priority.  Then tried pushing it off screen - didn't work either, the
   box stopped at the border.  I tried reducing the box to nothing, and then
   the program won't let me input more than one character.

   Help!  Please send e-mail responses to krhee@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu.
   Thanks in advance.
