I get a user entered password and encrypt it before storing it. It works cross
platform. I suppose it would depend on what is in the original string. For
instance option-v produces a checkmark on a Mac, but NOT on a PC and I assume

Many thanks Panos, yes, that fixed the problem.
It never occurred to me that reading binary data from the custom properties of

Hello Neville,
Could you try to textEncode the encrypted data before saving it in the
custom property, and then, in the other platform, textDecode it before
decrypting it?
i.e. to do something like:
encrypt myData using myCipher with password myPass
put it into tEncryptedData
put
The problem is platform-symmetric. That is, a string encrypted in LC on Windows
will not decrypt on the Mac. Linux will not decrypt a string encrypted on the
Mac, and presumably vice-versa.
I did toy with the idea that the encryption keys might be device dependent,
maybe the public and private
