If you set a password on that stack, all text will be encrypted. You can
still access those custom properties from inside MetaCard, but you won't see
them with a word processor. Another simple alternative might be to encode
the text really simply - e.g. with base64encode (used base64decode to read
it). That might be preferable if you are only trying to do a quick cover up
of a couple of settings as setting the password will make the stack slower
to load as the whole stack must be decoded.
