ask password

[Chris Sheffield]

Thanks, Jacque and Rob.  I guess I didn't realize that.  Makes sense though.
Your suggestions should work just fine.

The password can't be decrypted; it's a secret to everyone. Instead, 
store the encrypted password and compare user entries with that. During 
development, do something like this:

ask password "Enter the password:"
set the cPswd of this stack to it

After that, you would compare the user's entry to the cPswd of the stack 
to see if they match.
