As cool as I think Revolution is, at times, there's stuff like this
that just makes my head hurt.

Please see my bug report at:
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=5129

In short, encrypt, decrypt, and cipherNames do not work in the IDE.
They do however work in stand alones- which is nice, but eliminates one
of the major conveniences of Revolution- namely, the ability to code
and test your app without the need to compile first. Now, apparently,
Revolution doesn't see this as a bug. They want you to purchase a $200
add on product in order to be able to use these commands in the IDE.

I would >almost< be able to accept this, if there was anything in the
dictionary entries for these commands that indicated that the ability
to use these commands in the IDE required the purchase of an additional
product. I see nothing indicating this.

Again, why are they attempting to make us pay an additional $200 to use
commands that work in stand alones, that are covered in the
documentation with absolutely no mention of the need to purchase
anything else?
