And yes I do append a numtochar(13) coming and going and strip it off before decoding and read until numToChar(13). I don't use cr because I am uncertain how each OS platform treats it. The Server Agent could be running on anything in the future.

If you're already base64encoding the text you might consider a different 
end character than numtochar(13). For instance, numtochar(3) is already 
defined as "End of Text". That should eliminate or at least reduce any 
cross-platform issues you might run into.
