Sounds nice, Geoff. But I can only think of one reason to have psPlain and
that is so that you can take a look at your TIB_Connection if you forget
your password! So I suggest you simply drop that one, and consider renaming
psStatic to psPublic or psForm (anything referring to how it is stored
rather than how it is encrypted will please me).
