mcEncrypt

[Fraser Gordon]

Hi Mark,

I believe that the "password" property returns empty if there isn't a
password or true if there is - the password itself is never returned for
security reasons (imagine a useful plugin with a password-harvesting
trojan...). Engine-wise, there is a "key" property that is very similar
but I don't know if it is exposed to scripts - it should return true if
unlocked (i.e no password or correct password has been entered) and
false otherwise.

Regards,
Fraser
