1.4.3 // proper syntax for --edit-key cross-certify ?

[vedaal at hush.com]

what is the syntax needed to use the cross-certify 
to have a signing subkey sign the master?

i tried cross-certify with --edit-key 
and got no response
(not even the polite customary error message ;-) )

here is the command and gpg output:

$ gpg --edit-key 0x6A589A97

Command> cross-certify

Command>


gnupg just returns the command prompt

(the same happens after a uid is selected, and then cross-certify 
entered at the command prompt)

the same thing also happens with the following variations:

Command> cross-certify

Command>

Command> cross-certify sub 4096R/04ADEE20

Command>

Command> cross-certify pub 4096R/6A589A97

Command>

Command> cross-certify 6A589A97

Command>

Command> cross-certify 04ADEE20

Command>


what should the proper syntax be ?
