your use of stripping the returns from base64Encode is clever. I
thought of that but wasn't sure how much one could mess with the
format once encoded.
However URLEncoding is great for one-line-packing HTML snippets in
scripts, which otherwise would require extra steps with base64Encode.
In my suggestions of encoding, I'm assuming moderate snippets of text
rather than volumes are being moved this way, and the extra
processing needed is minimal and invisible.
It's fast enough that I'm using packing/unpacking techniques like
this to create a list on-the-fly and set the text of a popup button
on mousedown, and it shows up in the popup menu.
Note that the URLEncoded suggested by Stephen is unnecessary and
will be an unnecessary overhead (the cr replaced by empty is faster
and takes less memory to convert the base64encoded string to one
line).

I turn the array into a list with lines like this. The secret is to
encode the data to fit on one line per record, using tab as a delim.
keyName <tab> <data>
URLEncoded data looks like this on a line:
"--put+the+scriptsOfFocus+of+this+stack+into+tStackList%"
This line was base64Encoded, then URLEncoded on to one line:
"cCnB1dCBsaWJTUUJfcmV0dXJuUmVsU3RhY2tBZGRyZXNzZXMoInRydWUiKSBpbnRvIHRTdGFj%0D%0"
using this code:
put URLEncode(base64Encode(fld "disclosure")) into fld "output2"
