Rev Standalone and Encryption

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Ted,

When you set a password, all your scripts are encrypted. When a stack  
opens, either in Revolution or in a standalone, the scripts are  
decrypted. However, there is no way to see the scripts in the open  
stack and when you save the stack to disk all scripts are encrypted  
again. Surely, you will want to remember the passwords used for your  
stacks, if you want to change the scripts.

The encryption doesn't slow down the execution of scripts at all. They  
are decrypted when the stack opens --yet inaccessible to the user--  
and run without delay once the stack is open.
