Hi Mark,
Please confirm that your macro does not contain any tabs. I've seen this break
things when encrypting macros. For instance the format statements for *VWRITE
or *MSG do not work well if preceded by tabs (to get the indent aligned).

I have since switched to an editor that converts all tabs to spaces when saving
the file (ie, Textpad). On unix, you may also be able to configure your editor
to replace tabs with spaces. Or you could have a sed script do the substitution
on the un-encrypted macro.

random sequence) is not a recognized PREP7 command. Any ideas on how to
eliminate this? The non-encrypted macro does not do this and works perfectly.
