I just discovered a much easier solution which demonstrates the amazing integration of AFP, Disk Copy, and the Keychain under Jaguar (the only place I tested this):
Follow the steps (1) to (3) above (you only need to do this once), and place an alias to the text file on your laptop. The next time you want to access your file on the encrypted disk image (even if the main computer's disk is not mounted), simply double-click on the alias. Mac OS X will automatically mount the main computer's hard disk, decrypt the disk image and mount it, and then open the text file with the TextEdit app! Amazing. This only works if you have the login password for your main computer and the password for the encrypted disk image in your laptop's Keychain.
