Does anybody has the experience or ideas of using motif widgets to implement
a text input window in non-echo mode?   My intention is to build a login
dialog window using motif. The non-echo mode is necessary when user type
in their password.  I tryed using motif Text widget with foreground equal
to background; it does disappear the text but with the unwanted side effect
of disappearing the text cursor too. Any suggestion?

Also, does anybody knows if the Motif 1.1 would support non-echo mode in
their Text widget? It'd be very disappointing if it doesn't because the OSF
claims that the Motif 1.1 will be suite for real world applications.

Thanks in advance!
