Pmw -- for password entry how do I get it to echo *

[Jerry Gitomer]

        I am building an application using the Pmw widget set and can't 
figure out how to do what show = '*' does for the plain vanilla 
Tkinter Entry widget.  I don't want to use plain Tkinter for 
three reasons; 1) because I can't figure out who to set it up so 
that focus in the userid/password dialog widget can be 
automatic, i.e. no mouse movement required, 2) I don't know how 
to get the dialog widget positioned where I want it on the 
screen, and 3) I can't get rid of "the ghost dialog box" that is 
so generously :-) displayed on my screen.
