Hi, John,

Thanks. That's just it: I choose login in the first table, then passwords in 
the second. Maybe I don't have the right item. I try Apple ID and 
com.apple.assistant, do a command-i, put in my user account password, and both 
display something that looks like hexidecimal values in the password field.

Thanks,
Teresa
