How do I get to the "password" line? (Sorry about my apparent stupidity 
here...)

I have indexed/inserted numerous files. I still cannot access the Assemble 
Directory features from gnunet-gtk.

Please do! Although in my case, deniability is not an issue as I use encrypted

"gnunet-pseudonym-list --help" does not list a "-p PASSWORD" option. And 
running gnunet-pseudonym-list with that option (obviously with PASSWORD 
replaced by my pseudonym's password) I still get the same hex-free results as 
before.
