[foxboro] Display overlay with a password

I want to configure a button to call up an overlay, but first prompt for a
password.  I'm using FoxView 99.2.1, IA V6.1.1 on 51B.  I have a solution
that works but don't know why my first, simpler solutions don't.

I used dmsepass to create a password for ID.  Then I tried configuring the
button to call the overlay and the overlay's Open Display command script to
be:

dmcmd passwd ID

When I clicked on the button, FoxView restarted.

Next, I removed the Open Display script from the overlay and configured the
button for a Display Command like this:

dmcmd passwd ID
ov [overlay] UL

Same result, the FoxView restarted.

Lastly, I configured the button to call a script file as follows:

dmcmd script
dmcmd passwd ID
ov [overlay] UL

This works, but does anyone know why the others don't, or even better, if
there is a way to do this without the extra script file.?
