Stop the presses! The password has been found. Continuous perseverance on the "...could I have...?" process finally paid off.

Thanks Dianne, Artie and Pendragon for your help and ideas. On the downside I put people through something for a dumb mistake. However, on the upside I learned some good lessons....and sweated off about three pounds.

It still doesn't solve the mystery of how the password got into the Super Duper copy of the file. This weekend, when I'm doing my SD backup, I'll do some experimenting (yes, yes with a file created for the test) and will report.

I'm going back to bed, now that I can sleep again.
