Allen,

Try this:


set echo=off
input PassW;prompt="Enter password ---> "
echo
set echo=on
input CustNo;prompt="Enter customer number ---> "


The echo statement is on a line by itself to advance the cursor on the
screen. Because you have echo disabled while prompting for the password the
cursor will not advance when the user presses return. The next prompt you
issue would be on the same line and would not look very appealing for the
user.

    Enter password ---> Enter customer number --->

Doug.
