Description ::
This is my first p/w program but it works fine if you have the start-up app. that comes w/ the silver edition. If not, find it and download it! Just set this program as the start up program. If you want to change the name that appears on the calc, just edit the program. You can also choose another password by changing strng2. Right now it is at Jesus.

A few things. First of all, congrats on your release. :)
You know how [font="courier new"]Output() will wrap to the next line if the string is long enough? You can take advantage of this by combining each of the separate statements into one to save on both size and speed. Also, string concatenation is possible when using display commands ([font="courier new"]Str1+"TEXT"+Str2+"MORE TEXT"+ … ).
Practice when and when not to use [font="courier new"]Ans. In the case of this program, [font="courier new"]Str1 isn't necessary to use at all.
I notice you are using [font="courier new"]If … Then … Else, but you don't have an [font="courier new"]End in there to tell the interpreter when the statement is finished. This causes a memory leak, and causes a calculator to crash with ERR:MEMORY after enough incorrect guesses (which would exit back out to the home screen). For this program, it looks like a simple "loop until such-and-such is true" technique is used. Why not use a loop command like [font="courier new"]Repeat Str2=Str3? Just a thought. ;)
Review the manual a little more—you'll find all kinds of neat stuff in there.
Other than that, keep up the good work! 8)
