What I did was create a separate public & secret key ring. In GPGShell I
created a separate options file which points the new key rings. I
imported the public & secret key I wanted to use to sign multiple files
into the new public public & secret key rings. I then removed the
password completely. For good measure I save the GnuPG preferences in
GPGkeys, then I exited GPGtray & GPGkeys of GPGshell. I started GPGtray
& GPGkeys again. I opened up a DOS box on Win98. I changed directories
to where the multiple files are located to which I want signatures for
each *.doc file. I ran the command:

gpg -b *.doc

Of the 5 doc files only the last was signed with the above command. So
do you see anything wrong with what I did that prevented multiple
signatures?
