help needed desperately: gpg --decrypt hanging

[Dave Della Costa]

Sorry Steve, I don't think I explained the problem well enough.  If I
run, on the command line:

gpg --decrypt

Then I pass it the encrypted text to decrypt, and then I give it the
password, it just hangs!  It sits and sits and sits...and we get
nothing.

Thanks for your help!

Dave
