You might be able to use encoding. This isn't encrypting, but it would stop the average user from reading what is inside your text file and it's *extremely* easy to use.
For instance, using Base64 encoding, your message looks like this: SGVsbG8sDQ1JIHNhdmUgbXkgZmlsZXMgYXMgdGV4dCBmaWxlcyBhbmQgdGhlc2UgZmlsZXMgY2Fu IGJlIG9wZW5lZCBieSBhbnkgdGV4dCBlZGl0b3IgYW5kIGVkaXRlZC4NDUhvdyBjYW4gSSBlbmNy eXB0IG9yIHBhc3N3b3JkLXByb3RlY3QgdGhlc2UgZmlsZXMgcHJvZ3JhbWF0aWNhbGx5IHNvIHRo YXQgdGhleSBjYW5ub3QgYmUgZWRpdGVkIHNvIGVhc2lseT8NDUtpbmRseSBhZHZpc2UuDQ1UaGFu a3MuDQ1MZW5ub3g= All you need to do this is: encodedText = EncodeBase64(YourText, 0) Write encodedText to your text file instead of the normal text. Use DecodeBase64(EncodedText) to decode it. This is about as safe as using a decoder ring from a box of cereal, but might do in a pinch. There are surely third-party encryption classes or plugins available. Check http://www.skydancerstudios.com/softBFSH.html This appears to be a free, cross-platform BlowFish plugin or class for RB...
