Sorry...

Here we go:

on mouseup ## or whatever
   set the itemdel to TAB
   ask "Who the hell are YOU ???"
   if it is empty then exit mouseup
   put it into the_user
   repeat for each line l in myFile
      if item 1 of l is the_user then
        put item 2 of l into the_password
        exit repeat
    else
       ## heavy complaining...
       exit mouseup
     end if
  ask "Please enter more money ehmm your password"
  if it is the_password then
     ### do_the_right_thing
  else
  ## heavy complaining...
  end if
end mouseup
