re: #1202 Walter L. Newton

Well, I would imagine you write a little procedure that asks for the password (half of it) then asks for the other half and the procedure combines the character and THEN passes it on to the Kernal.

You wouldn’t have to know anything about the kernal.

Then again, there are many ways to duplicate what you mentioned. It could have been one of many.

Gah. I’m trying to remember my Unix - wouldn’t you have to interrupt the kernal to preclude the password prompt? (I’ve been out of the business for going on 6 years)
