Making Dialogs in Frontier

[Jake Savin]

Hi Helmut, try this:

In the script that gets the password from your card, use something like 
the following:

local (password, atts);
card.getObjectAttributes ("password", @atts);
password = atts.rtxt

In the first line, "password" is the name of your password field. 
atts.rtxt is the actual text that the user typed into the password 
field. The third line assigns this to the local, password.

For what it's worth, I referenced this against the code that handles the 
OK button in the login dialog (card) for editing Manila sites, which is 
at system.verbs.apps.Manila.windowTypes.dialogs.cards.passwordDialog. (A 
mouthful, I know. ;-)
