Brian,

I opened up the Transcript Dictionary and clicked on "keyDown." I was 
looking for anything with "key" in it.

I then looked at the "See Also" menu and went to "Recipe for... 
limiting the number of characters in a field." I also looked at "Recipe 
for... rejecting non-digit characters in a field."

I went to the Transcript Dictionary and clicked on "contains" to 
refresh my memory. I got this: "Compares two strings and evaluates to 
true if the first contains the second, false if not."

So with three cut and pasted examples of code and about five tests I 
was able to get something thrown together with a little humor thrown in 
for good measure. I don't recommend using that section that gives away 
the length of the password. I just put that in to show text 
manipulation. I knew to go to the Transcript Dictionary and search for 
anything that had to do with the keys & contains.
