@Anonymous hi,

as far as i know there is no build-in  password method in AutoLISP but you can start your command by pausing to ask a user name/password than call (stratapp)

if you defun a dialog box there is a dcl attribute called "password_char" but this is only for concealing the password on the dialog.

Yes, but how to put name/password to the window witch appears after using startapp?

[Moshe-A]

after or before?

provide more info?  what application are we talking?

OK, step by step

1. (setq login (getenv "USERNAME")) ;I have my login.

2. (setq password "1234") ;I have my password

3. (startapp "C:\\...") ; appears window (external application - not in AC) with fields "login" and "password" and buttons OK and CANCEL. 

4. ...this step I need put login and password but automatically from variables login and password. Is it possible?

well, the (startapp) function works much like calling an application from the cmd window (remeber DOS?)

e.g if the external application accepts arguments?  then you can provide them .

here the function format:

(startapp appcmd [file])

the [file] argument can be replaced with arguments (it's a string)

if the application you are calling does not have command arguments then you can not pass arguments to it.
