What sort of information are you looking for?
When you set up an encrypted filePro file, the key (and data, if used) files
are encrypted, based on the key you specify in define files. Each record is
encrypted separately (ie: each record is independent of all other records),
along with a nonce based (IIRC) on the filename and record number. That
way, even two identical records will not encrypt to the same data.
