If you're just beginning to use GnuPG I would suggest version 1.2.6
since it is the last "stable" release.  While I have personally had no
problems with 1.3.92, Command Line use does have a learning curve and a
stable release would probably make it easier to determine whether a
problem was with you or something in the version code.

Should you decide to remain with 1.3.92 (as I assume it's installed now)
I do recommend that you maintain a Keyring back-up "just in case."  I do
not know which O/S you are using, but if it's M$ Windows I generally
steer new people to the Nullify version (1.2.3nrl) as it may be
downloaded with a Windows installer.

Personally I find command line very easy once one is familiar with it;
however preferences vary.  You should also look into a "frontend" for
GnuPG on a Windows box.  My preference there is GPG Shell, but many
others prefer WinPT.
