Thanks. Sorry, but I get a little nit-picky about that kind of
thing. When you take help requests off-list you...

        a) Take the discussion out of the public eye, so that others
           can't correct me if I say something stupid. This is to your
           disadvantage.

        b) Make me solely responsible for answering your questions. No
           one person on a mailing list is a private technical support
           tech. I may have had time to answer your first question,
           but not any others.

        c) Make it so that other people reading (either on mail or in
           Web archives) don't get the benefit of seeing my answer,
           too. Someone else may have the same problem you have.

This isn't a big deal, just a gentle reminder. I could have redirected
my response to your private email back to the list, but that's kind of
rude.

    V> When I run this command: 'gpg -e $filename', it always asks for
    V> the user id.  How can I make it that when I create a key, I can
    V> place the uid in the command?

"gpg -e -r $their_user_id $filename"

If you're going to sign -and- encrypt, try:

"gpg -se -r $their_user_id -u $your_user_id $filename"

Lastly... I suggest you read the Gnu Privacy Manual, since it has a
lot of info on how to make GnuPG work:
