Hello Chris,

I'm pretty new to using GnuPG as well. I use GnuPG 1.0.6 with GnuPG shell
v1.77. My PGP is Personal Security 7.0.3. Here's what I do when I want to
import secret keys from PGPkeys...

In PGPkeys, I Export the key(s) into "C:\gnupg" (putting a check mark in
"include private key(s)" before I export.

Then, I open a DOS box, and type the following:

cd C:\gnupg   <then press "enter">

gpg --import --allow-secret-key-import c:\gnupg\[filename].asc  <"enter">

This seems to work for me.  I hope it helps.

Melissa
