I have a simple login dialog that will take a user id and login as text
field entries.  Now.  Is there a way i can get the Password box to only
display * characters for the characters?  The only way I can think of to
hide the letters typed is to use the ZapfDingbat font, and this seems
pretty silly.

What else can I do?  Any ideas?

Thanks.
