Yes, please search the archives before posting questions.  My solution
wasn't a convoluted shell script but a single command that can be put
into a shell alias.

Of course you could replace the "sort | uniq" with just "sort -u".
To put it into a ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc file as an alias you'll need to
escape the single quotes like this:

alias gpg-update-all 'gpg --with-colons --fast-list-mode --list-keys |
		awk -F: '\''$1=3D=3D"pub" {print $5}'\'' | sort -u
		| xargs -n 20 gpg --recv-keys'
