Ruby gem highline problem

Hi
   I want to take some data at runtime from user and want data to be
not seen by others. I used
"password = ask("Enter your password: ") { |q| q.echo = "*"} " to
take password from user in console(he types password in console) . Now
I want to take password from TkEntry and want that it too should be
echoed in TkEntry.
   What should I do?
thanks
sujeet

I fear the subject of your message is a little misleading. HighLine can't help you with this, you need a TK guru to offer a suggestion...

I am no Tk guru, but I'll make a suggestion:

TkEntry.new {
   show "*"
   pack
}

should do what you. Have a look at 'man n entry' to see all the options available for the entry widget.

Hope it helps,
Guillaume.
