Thanks!   did not realize that,

this time it worked,

gpg sequence:

Welcome, Honored Traditional User,
 What is thy bidding?
 Type a valid Command, and it shall be done.
 D:\WinPT>gpg --show-session-key d:\skt1.txt

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "test <test@key.test>"
2048-bit RSA key, ID F77AFF7B, created 2001-04-26

gpg: session key: "1:BDFC53FC47F75CAD12A83F16B60AE805"
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID F77AFF7B, created 2001-04-26
      "test <test@key.test>"
gpg: d:\skt1.txt: unknown suffix
Enter new filename: d:\a
File `d:\a' exists. Overwrite (y/N)? y

 D:\WinPT>gpg --override-session-key 1:BDFC53FC47F75CAD12A83F16B60AE805

gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID F77AFF7B, created 2001-04-26
      "test <test@key.test>"
gpg: d:\skt1.txt: unknown suffix
