Problem generating RSA keys

Hi,

Recently I started using GnuPG 1.0.6 under W2K, together with 
GPGShell for Win v. 2.25.

Neither on the command line, nor in GPGShell can I generate RSA 
keys or use other non-default algorithms, ciphers or hashes. I 
looked through all the FAQ's, help files, man pages and Handbooks 
that I could find and tried every possible combination of the 
options
- --load-extension
- --rfc1991 
- --cipher-algo
- --compress-algo
(either direct or via the options files of GPG and GPGShell),
but in all cases the options presented are the same as those with 
"gpg --gen-key" without options.

I have idea.dll, sha2.dll and tiger.dll sitting in the same folder 
as GPG.exe (being G:/GPG), but it makes no difference. 

I have been able to work through the basic learning curve, I 
believe, of using GPG on the command line and via GPGShell, but I 
don't understand why these options won't work. Any help would be 
appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
