I can't reproduce the error, Patricia. The Change Invisible command
works. I used files of various sizes, both smaller and larger than
64K.

Here's my test command; issue DECODE to decode it. It's in
BX..Q2 form, but the same command works equally well with BC..XC,
and when issued manually from the CMline.

XPLeNCODE v2.0
b-gin [UNTITLED]
[BX_]ci /[w<]MDIT[w>][wW][w<]MDNM[w>]/[w<]MD+IT[w>][wW][w<]MD
-IT[w>]/[Q2_]{<}EX{>}[cr|lf]
-nd
XPLeNCODE
