DESCRIPTION
	This tool is intended to be used by a _PreInstall_, _PostInstall_, 
	or _DEINSTALL_ script to prompt a user to enter a password. 
	The routine displays a window in which the user may enter a password.
	The user's response is not echoed in the window. A password prompt
	is displayed in a window, and the user must respond to the "enter the
	password" and the "verify the password." The user must then click on 
	the _OK_ button to continue.  The _status_ environment variable is set 
	to -1 if an error occurs (for example, a window could not be displayed)
	or to 0 if the message displays correctly.

	By default, the tool will prompt for the password and then prompt the 
	user to enter the password again for confirmation. A flag may be passed
	to the tool to indicate that the confirmation is not desired. The 
	default maximum password length that a user can enter is 40 characters,
	while the minimum is 6 characters. The calling routine may indicate the
	minimum and maximum number of characters in the user's typed response.

	When confirmation is requested, the tool prompts the user for a matching
	confirmation up to three times before returning a failure. If after
	three attempts the confirmation does not match, the tool returns an 
	error code and the calling routine must determine what action to take.

NOTES
	There are no notes.
