Here is another way to remember:

The binaryDecode() function is somewhat like matchText():
put matchText( textData, regex, datum1, datum2, datum3 ) into validMatch

The binaryEncode() function is somewhat like format():
put format( formatString, datum1, datum2, datum3 ) into textData

I think I made a mistake earlier; it must be binaryDecode() and 
matchText() that need the variables to already exist.  (Perhaps a 
reasonable enhancement would be to make the compiler create these if 
they do not exist.)
