 ECHODOTS

 Function
  Set the echo dots flag in an INPUTSTR or PROMPTSTR statement.

 Value
  1 = 1b = 1o = 1h

 Remarks
  The INPUTSTR and PROMPTSTR statements have the ability to disable
  echoing of user input and instead echo dots in place of the user's
  input.  This is useful in situations where the information being
  entered is confidential and shouldn't be revealed to any other party.
  A good example of this is the user's password.

 Example

  STRING pwd
  PROMPTSTR 148,pwd,12,MASK_PWD(),ECHODOTS+UPCASE
  GETUSER
  IF (pwd <> U_PWD) HANGUP
