Thanks for the info. I'm using a windows-only Cryptainer right now...not the solution that I want (if there was ever a disaster, and I needed a computer, I don't want to have to rely on it being windows...), but it's gui based, and relatively easy to work with. I d/l TrueCrypt, and printed off the user manual to go thru tonight, but I'm afraid it's gonna be waaay too complicated. Same goes with the others, gpg et al. If I was a little smarter, maybe, ,but what I'm looking for is something gui and simple, that will get the job done across different machines with a minimum of effort. Of course, security breeds the necessity of a little complication, but I digress...

Aw, come on... Openssl is just a function / shell script / batch file away with say "openssl des3 -salt -in $1 -out $1.enc" or "openssl des3 -salt -in %1 -out %1.enc"...
