Thanks to all who sent suggestions. Here's what I came up with (beware
line wraps):
global passwd
on keydown whichKey
put word 2 of the selectedChunk of me into sChar
put word 4 of the selectedChunk of me into eChar
if eChar > sChar then -- some text is selected
delete char sChar to eChar of me
delete char sChar to eChar of passwd
end if
put word 2 of the selectedChunk of me into sChar
put word 4 of the selectedChunk of me into eChar
put whichKey after char eChar of passwd
put numtochar(165) after char eChar of me
end keyDown
on backspaceKey
put word 2 of the selectedChunk of me into sChar
put word 4 of the selectedChunk of me into eChar
if eChar > sChar then -- text is selected
delete char sChar to eChar of me
delete char sChar to eChar of passwd
else
delete char eChar of me
delete char eChar of passwd
end if
end backspaceKey
on deleteKey
put word 2 of the selectedChunk of me into sChar
put word 4 of the selectedChunk of me into eChar
if eChar > sChar then -- text is selected
delete char sChar to eChar of me
delete char sChar to eChar of passwd
else
delete char eChar of me
delete char eChar of passwd
end if
end deleteKey
on returnInField
click at the loc of btn "connect"
end returnInField

All,
I'm writing an app that simulates a network server login on Mac OS X.
I want the password field to behave just like normal password fields
in OS X; i.e., bullet characters appear in place of clear text. I've
sorta kinda got it working by trapping the keydown message in the
password field, but it's quirky. Before I spend a lot of time on this,
I thought I'd ask: Has anyone done this and would mind sharing a
script?
Thanks.
