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.
