BTW, here's a little doo-dad that I threw together that moves the ascii value of each 
character up (encode) or down (decode), with a default change of 40.  
So, for example, chr(233) might become chr(21), or chr(74) might become chr(114).  
Anyone who knows what they're doing could easily decode it, but at least it's not legible 
if you open the file in Notepad, etc. Try it!  

Syntax is:  encode(mytext, [range]) and decode(mytext, [range]).
