The AS mailing list (motto: 'Seven-Bit Or Bust':) always turns the 'not'
sign (looks like a sideways 'L' - option-L on English keyboards) into a
comma. Looks like that's what's happened here.
The not sign is used as a 'continuation' character in AS, indicating that a
return which follows it does not signify end of line. So as far as AS is
concerned, those 5 lines are to be read as one:
encrypt (theFile) to Recipient signature omitted reading plaintext writing
asciified
