It is not a good idea to DELETE the revoked key, for example,
A has a public key of B.
C steal (with any method) B's public key.
B notice it, and B revoke his key.
A receive revoked key but A DELETE B's key!!
if C mimic B and give B's old key to A, A can't find
whether the key is legal or not, unless A remember 
the exact keyID he had deleted.


> Anyone know how to "select the user"?

In "--edit-key" mode, (prompt "Command>") you can see
the number enclosed in parenthesis ((1),(2),etc) in front of
each UserID. 

To select a uid, type the number corresponding to the uid.
(To unselect, type the same number again :-)

If my answer have a fault, anyone plz let me know.
