Thanks, 

no what I need is for gambas2, I have to store Passwords in an XML-file,
what means plain-text readable.
So I need a crypting/uncrypting logic . 
I put my PW "TOPSECRET" to store 
	Print crypting("TOPSECRET")
	>2sgbtf&&
and get it back by 
	Print uncrypting("2sgbtf&&")
	>TOPSECRET
The uncrypted password is used for a database login.

or in other words
	store pw in plain text encrypted, and
	restore encrypted pw to plain text.
