As with most of the dialog facilities in HyperCard, the "ask
password" command returns the password in "it" and the button
click in "the result". Always check "the result" to find out
how the user ended their interaction with the dialog. If the
user canceled, "the result" will contain "Cancel". If the user
exited normally, "the result" will be empty. I believe that
an empty result will always be indicative of a normal exit.
If an error occurs (Cancelling is considered and "error") then
"the result" should be assigned a value.		- David
