    // See the online reference documentation for Chilkat SSH.
    // The XML returned by StartKeyboardAuth will contain an infoRequest
    // with one or more prompts that your application may choose to display.

    // Call ContinueKeyboardAuth, passing in the whatever information is requires (such as the password).
    // Typically, keyboard authentication requires one call to ContinueKeyboardAuth 
    // using the password.  Theoretically, the SSH server could prompt for additional pieces
    // of information.  The authentication is completed when the XML returned contains
    // either a "success" or "error" child node.

    // This example asumes only one call to ContinueKeyboardAuth is required.
