Here's how I have done it:  [This is assuming you are using a
PGP 7.x client for Win32]

1)    In PGP Keys, right-click your key
2)    Select "Export" from the drop-down menu
3)    Make sure you select "Include Private Key(s)"
4)    Save the .asc file to the location of your choice

By the way, when importing your keypair, make sure you include
the following option:

- --allow-secret-key-import

eg:

gpg --import %key path% --allow-secret-key-import
(where %key path% is the location of the key you saved in step
4, above)

HTH,
