Masking Passwords

Hi All,
I am writing a program that contains the ability to ftp. I am prompting the user for his username and password with a SET for now. However I would like the password to be masked with an * or some other character. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this? Thank you.
 
In GUI, tick the 'BLANK' attribute of your password fill-in.

To continue with SET, you need something like:

SET user-id passwd BLANK

HTH
 
I sorry Lee, I forgot to mention that I am in the character dev. Is there something similar available for this environment.
 
Using SET ... BLANK should stop the key being echoed.

I'm not a character programmer, but I would imagine overlaying the key with a '*' will involve some long-winded 'Catch the last key, backspace and replace' type of process.
