	problem.  The second only accepts strings with fewer than ten\
	characters and sounds the bell when an attempt to go over the limit\
	is made.  The third accepts US phone numbers, mapping letters to\
	their digit equivalent and sounding the bell on encountering an\
	illegal character or if trying to type over a character that is not\
	a digit.  The fourth is a password field that accepts up to eight\
	characters (silently ignoring further ones), and displaying them as\
	asterisk characters."
