1) Fire up PGPKeys. Select the key(s) you want to move. On the menubar:
Keys then Export (or ctrl-E). Click to Include Private Key(s) -- you'll
need them also. It's safe to leave the 6.0 extensions selected. Pick a
directory, filename, and Save.

2) Open a command window. CD to the directory you stored your keys in. And
enter the command:

	gpg --import <filename>.asc
