Sorry for the typos.
I also wanted to say, if an example of how to change the .conf file to
add the user supplied CipherKey is desired, I can supply a concise code
snippet.
As far as user flow specifically for entering a key...
In BibleCS, we show an excerpt from the module, with an edit box for the
user to type their unlock code, with a [Try] button next to it. The try
button sets the unlock code in the module and re-retrieves the excerpt.
If the unlock code is correct, the user will see the unencrypted module
excerpt, and they can proceed to hit an [Accept] button to continue.
But again, obviously each frontend will creatively design their own
mechanisms. I would just like to be sure we have _some_ easy way on
each frontend for our users to know where to obtain and then enter these
unlock codes.
