Hi,
I have an app. where a user types in a passwd. How do set IDL to
not display the passwd entered? I thought about setting the font
to 'blank' but since this app. runs on different machines, with
undetermined fonts, I don't think it'll fly....

Thanks,

Hallo,
you may use the function char=get_kbrd(1) - it returns the pressed key without
displaying it to the terminal. For the RETURN key, test byte(char) eq 13.
