Most hashes return binary values directly, but it's common to convert 
them to hex for general storage and transport, e.g.:

    get binaryDecode("h*", sha1digest(tSomeString), tHex)
    put tHex


Do you have a LiveCode script that does aes128, or are you calling shell?


PS: Annoyance report:  If I run that script above as a single line in 
the Message Box, a la:

   get binaryDecode("h*", sha1digest(tSomeString), tHex); put tHex

...the Message Box shows "true", but when I run it in a button it shows 
the expected hex string.

Have any of you seen things like that?  Got a bug report number I can 
tickle?

Looks like I'll get back to work on my Message Box replacement plugin....
