This is really strange.  I can get all of the members to work, except for
EncryptString and DecryptString.  Both of those give an error, and they
crash if you call any combination of the two multiple times.

It all worked fine using VBA and C#.  But now it gets really weird.  If I
translate using Watcom (OW1.7) then it works.  I tried wrapping the COM
calls and translating to a dll, then using open_dll, etc, and if I run
my onecrypt.exw using the interpreter, then it doesn't work.  If I 
translate it and call the dll that way, then it works.  This makes no
sense to me.

Perhaps the author could explain it.  Are we (the calling application) 
expected to instantiate some interface?  I tend to doubt this.  

I thought that maybe there was some difference between the way it was 
being called when translated vs interpreted (not that I could imagine
what that difference might be), but I figured that by putting all of
that code into a dll (i.e., eucom.ew, onecrypt.ew) that the problem
would resolve itself.  But apparently not.  It's a truly bizarre thing
that I can't explain.
