I don't have FP/WIN installed at the moment so I didn't test this .prg
with windows.  It works fine under DOS.  It doesn't show asterisks,
instead works by blanking the color during input.  Maybe it would be
acceptable.
SET TALK OFF
CLEAR
m.fn = '                '
m.ln = '                '
m.pword = "PASSWORD"
m.jobno = '         '
DEFINE WINDOW logon FROM 6,14 TO 16,65 ;
  TITLE 'Logon Window' FLOAT SHADOW SYSTEM COLOR SCHEME 8
  ACTIVATE WINDOW logon
  @ 1,2 SAY 'First Name: ' GET m.fn
  @ 3,2 SAY 'Last Name:  ' GET m.ln
  @ 5,2 SAY 'Password:   ' GET m.pword color ,x
  @ 7,2 SAY 'Job Number: ' GET m.jobno

RELEASE WINDOW logon
I'd like to hear or see a repost if you get it to work under FPW.
Later, Steve,  in western New York State (USA)
