No, I don't add anything to the descriptors, just using the ones returned from the LGI routines themselves. I do declare a couple of pointers to descriptors, namely username, password1, and password2 - just so I can type a little less when accessing the data.  Besides, the error occurs at the line:

status = arg_vector->LGI$ICB_PASSWORD(0, &prompt);

which doesn't have any of my descriptors, other than the prompt string. I'd be happy if it were failing outside of this call. but it returns an invalid password error, yet dumping the values shows the data is correct.
