Isn`t there a edit hook that you can use to parse incoming characters, then
you could watch for acceptable characters and store them in an array (so you
know what password has been entered) and return * for gtstring to show. I`m
sure that`s the way you do it, because that`s how you block spaces in
passwords. It`d need some clever handling of things like delete and cursor
keys though.
