Service to "Make Protected Zip" files
Authored by: ThomasMyers on Oct 17, '13 08:15:04PM

This has been tested on both 10.8.5 and 10.9. You can use the line
set passwd to text returned of (display dialog "password for zipped file" default answer "password" buttons {"OK", "Cancel"} default button "OK" with hidden answer)

But if you do I recommend you add a 2nd verify password as you can't see what you are typing in. You do not need to use system events. It works just fine. I found that I didn't want to have to enter the password twice.
