Ok, it is like this:

I you read "Custom Order Routing" in the docs, and look for info regarding 
encrypion and Route main, it says:

credit_card
Determines whether credit card encryption should be done for this order. 
Either this or encrypt should always be set.

encrypt
Whether the entire order should be encrypted with the encrypt_program. If 
credit_card is set, then the credit card will first be encrypted, then the 
entire order encrypted.

...so I set both of these to '0' (false) in my Route main, and everything 
works - Minivend encrypts the credit card, and I can include the encrypted 
string in the body of the Report email, or as an attachment.  Why does 
no=yes?  I do not have confirmation, but it appears that when using 
Cybercash, the above settings are disregarded.  It does not say this in the 
docs, but the section on Cybercash does say that the CreditCardAuto 
"method" is used for card encryption when Cybercash is enabled (even 
though, according to the docs, CreditCardAuto should be set to 'No' in 
catalog.cfg when Cybercash is enabled). I guess this precludes the encrypt 
settings in Route. Maybe.  I guess.

If anyone reading this is feeling confused, you are not alone.  In all 
likelihood, others have already discovered what I have, and it is in the 
archives...somewhere!

Attenion Akopia - as you set out with a great product (Minivend) with goal 
of marrying it with another great product (Tallyman) to make a new product 
which is even better, please do not neglect to build better docs to go with 
it!  This is not intended as a jab at Mike Heinz or anyone else who 
contributed to the docs - as they stand now they do contain a wealth in 
solid info and examples - but I think the product has always been given 
priority and it has outgrown the docs.
