Block problem
@Nick:
a1: pick notes 2 ; notes is a block
a/text: decloak a1 "key" ; 'a' is a text area
probe notes/2
The probe function shows that the contents of the second block item has been decloaked.
I do NOT want that; I only want the DISPLAYED text to be decloaked.
Please help me!
Thanks!

Answering for Nick:
DECLOAK modifies the string and you are with PICK NOTES 2 referencing the second string in the block, the original string.
The solution would be:
a1: copy pick notes 2
Check the help for DECLOAK:
>> ? decloak
USAGE:
DECLOAK data key /with
DESCRIPTION:
Descrambles the string scrambled by encloak.
DECLOAK is a native value.
ARGUMENTS:
data -- String to descramble (modified) (Type: any-string)
key -- Key to use (Type: any-string)
REFINEMENTS:
/with -- Use key as-is (for speed, no hashing)
For the DATA argument, it says (modifies). There's the culprit.

Thanks Henrik :)
JMA, you could also use:
a/text: decloak copy a1 "key"
As long as you make a copy of the value sent to the 'decloak function, the original value won't get modified.
The same thing is true of 'sort. 'Sort doesn't just return a sorted value - it modifies the original unsorted list argument. To keep that from happening, a copy of the list must be sorted:
n: [5 7 2 8 1]
probe sort copy n
probe n
probe sort n
probe n
