Hmmm, that's the point ;-)

You could passwort-protect your stack so it can not be read when opened 
in some
kind of editor, but when opened in RR, except the scripts...

Hmmmm...

Since serious hackers are rare (compared to "normal" users) so just 
base64 encoding
the text-file might prevent this for most users. But that's far from 
being really safe...

...
   put base64encode(fld "userinput") into url...
...

...
put base64decode(url"file...) into fld "userinput
...

Sorry, i am a bit weak in cryptography ;-)
...but maybe others can provide better solutions...

I have an extremely cheap "crypto_lite" stack that i can send you
offlist, if you like.

But who knows, maybe some hackers will laugh to death when they see it,
which would be some kind of success anyway ;-)
