Hi,

I'm new to MAC programming.  I'm using THINK C and the macintosh Programming
Primer, along with Inside Mac.

I've seen applications where an editable text item in a dialog box
just shows little circles when the user types.  It's useful for
entering passwords or other secure info.

What's the best way of doing this?   I thought of using a font where every
character is a little circle.

Thanks,
