Password & Passkey

[DVGlasgow at aol.com]

RevListers,

I have finished development of a project, and have an "authorised user" 
pop-up button that insists the user identifies themselves prior to proceeding.  
This effectively means I need to change the contents of the button at each build, 
because it is sent to different user groups.  This seemed like a good idea 
during development.

Now I am fed up with rebuilding for each copy, and want to have an external 
stack containing the list of users.  This way I only need to change that, 
rather than rebuild each time.  The way to go seems to be a teensy encrypted 
'authorised users' stack.  The main application can look in it with password and put 
what is needed into the popup, but  I am struggling to get this to work.

I am trying to access the ''authorised users' stack within the standalone 
preopenstack script, extract the users and put them into the popup.  Is this an 
OK thing to try to do? i.e. open and access a stack in the preopenstack handler 
of another stack?  If I use a proper path, does the Passkey command open the 
stack, or do I need the path in a 'get' statement?  Or can I 'get' with 
Passkey?

Are there any advantages to closing the teensy stack, or can I just open it 
invisible and leave it hanging about till everything quits?

Still on 1.1, if that makes any odds.


Best wishes,

David Glasgow
