password protected stack and passkey

[Ralph DiMola]

FYI: If the stack is password protected(no line count in PB) you can't access any of the stack's handlers from the message box. I find this annoying but I guess it's safety mechanism. This changed in 8.x I think? In previous versions you could access handlers in a password protected stack from the message box.
