Thanks for the comments - I'm just returning to this following JavaOne.

I've updated the Help messages to add a separate section for '-importpass' and
I've reverted the prompt to its previous value: 'Enter the password to be stored'.

Let me know if there are any other issues. Otherwise I'd like to push this today.
