You did just what I asked, and even more.  Thanks!

The password encryption format must be pretty simple, but I don't yet
understand it.  Will you do another experiment?  Using the one-letter
password "a", repeatedly paste syntax for it.  If you have enough
patience, do it ten times or so.  Then do the same thing for the
one-letter password "b".  Don't bother actually saving the files or
sending them, because I'm not interested in the files, I'm just curious
about the password encryption.

Thanks a lot!
