The answer is that you don't. I think SQL 7 had a function for this, but
it was discontinued with SQL 2000.

What "doesn't appear to work" mean?
You would have to write a tool that reads the script and shifts in
WITH ENCRYPTION before AS. (Assuming that the number of procedures are
too many to make manual editing an option.)
