No offense, but no, no, no, no, NOOOOOOOOOO!  Password cache is one of my
biggest gripes with Win '95, and a detriment to the already vulnerable
OS/400.  You're better off allowing anonymous sign on via QUSER, and moving
files with which you are not concerned with the upload to a library to which
QUSER has upload authority.  You should NOT allow passwords with access to
the /400 to be stored on a machine with which so many people (especially
hackers) are familiar...
