Stack Password Protection

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Andrew,

You can set the password of a stack from the message box. The syntax is:

set the password of this stack to "foo"

Replace foo with your password. To remove the password, do this:

set the passkey of this stack to "foo"
set the password of this stack to empty

Select inclusions manually in the standalone settings, because LiveCode can't search password-protected stacks for required inclusions.
