Obfuscated maybe, but secure? doubt it.

Run the command-line utility "strings" from the terminal with the filename of your run-only script as an argument from "terminal" and it'll dump all the normal plain text strings it can find. It's likely to be very enlightening.

I haven't experienced the problem with run-only scripts, but...

I have a one-line script that, in a matter of seconds, can extract
the plain text stored in a run-only script.

What do you mean? If I write the code

thedlg to display dialog "a dialog" default answer ""
Set thetxt to text returned of thedlg

And save it as a run-only script, what can you see? The code? The text
stored in the variables? The items I would see in the event log? I thought
run-only scripts were secure.
