>I'd like to be able to enter text into a dialog box without it appearing
on the screen, in oRDER TO SECRetly enter a password.  Is there a reasonable
way of doing that?  (I'm using Orca/C.)

Yes... you could set the text color to that of the background of the dialog box
then just change the color back after the code is entered. This is the least
painful way.
