Hello Everybody.
I'm just getting started with GPG and have a problem allready before my key 
is finished. Maybe you can help.

When generating a key with GPG 1.0.6 I get following errormsg., presumably at 
the end of the keygeneration (GPG asks me to do some actions and all that 
stuff / writes those characters (+-.)). What's the problem with this and do 
you suggest as a stategy to solve this problem?

Kind regards Phillip R.
