Arrays and TextEncode/Decode

[Bob Sneidar]

Wouldn't hurt to textEncode/Decode. As long as you are writing our binary it shouldn't matter either way.

Thanks for reminding me of the different arrayEncode methods in LC 7 and LC
prior to 7. Fortunately, this code will only be executed in LC7+, actually
only LC8+ so I'm OK with the array encoding.

I'm just not sure about the Unicode aspects of this though.  Normally, it
seems to be the rule that you should textEncode data when writing it out to
a file and textDecode it when reading it in from a file.  Is that still the
case when the data is arrayEncoded?  No other programs will be reading the
file, not even other LC programs.
