Stephen,

Bill's method is definitely easier to implement and for lots of  
scenarios it works great. Be aware though that since the padlock is  
being added AFTER rawkeydown there will be slight instant where the  
character entered can be seen. You may notice a little flicker on  
occasion while typing (I just tested Bill's script and  saw it).

Until rev has a message that is sent AFTER text entry occurs but  
BEFORE the text is visible to the user a font will be appear more  
polished. But like I said, for many folks the flicker won't really  
matter.

Regards,
