I'm stupider than you!! RSTS/E question

That gets me into 1,2, and I can run money from [0,9], but it doesn't seem
to matter if I tell money to print passwords or not, I still don't get
passwords printing...

Doesn't the system have to store the 1,2 password someplace so it can log
into the account at startup?

Thanks!

Mark
