Re: EDM text control for password entry

[John Sinclair <sinclairjw@ornl.gov>]

Steve,

I made a quick modification and attached 3 files on the web site at
http://ics-web.sns.ornl.gov/edm/log/show.php?mon=Jan&theDay=30&year=2009

They show up under the "Attachments" heading on the left side of the 
page near the bottom.

I am not releasing a new version at the moment so you may download these 
files, replace the ones in your current distribution, and rebuild.

A new field called "Password Input" may be checked to get the new 
behavior. The control must be editable, associated with a string pv, and 
a motif widget. Let me know if the changes meet your requirements.

John
