Encrypt/Decrypt a Text File

I have a file of passwords on my laptop which I keep encrypted in case the laptop gets stolen.  I'm using Microsoft Word to perform the encrypt/decrypt function, but launching Word every time I need an unfamiliar password seems a bit cumbersome.  I did a quick Google research and found that people are using Disk Utility to make a password-protected disk image.  That seems even more cumbersome than using Word.

Maybe there's a product that you're using?

To write an AppleScript to encrypt or decrypt a text file given a password doesn't seem like it would be difficult.  Has anyone done that?
