Two questions about Editable Text Objects in Dialog Boxes:

1) Can you limit the length and/or prevent carriage returns? Theoretically I 
could check after every keypress to see if the length is too big or if they 
just hit return (and then delete the last character and redraw), but I was 
hoping for something nicer...

2) A month ago some people were saying that to make a password dialog where
the password was not legible, you change the font to something where all chars
are undefined??? How do I do this?

Thanks.
