I agree with this method and use a variation of it myself. I also have my passwords in "4TNox" on my Palm Pilot.
I would add that you should be careful of any temporary and/or backup files left by your editor. I use vim on Win98, Win2K and Linux. After editing my passwords text file, I delete the backup file vim had created. I believe you can also specify a command line option to NOT create a backup and/or temp file.
