question

[Larry Ellis]

One trivial solution is to wrap gpg in a batch file.  I use the following to
encrypt a file locally:

crypt.bat:

               gpg -e -r myuserid  -o %1.gpg  %1


Usage is

crypt filename


Of course, you can be creative and add parameters for passing userids and
other switches as well.
