Good news--it works.  Initially, I tried gpg2 (version 2.0.14), but it
didn't work.  Instead, I got an error message that scdaemon wasn't
running.  I searched for scdaemon on my system with "which scdaemon",
but I couldn't find it.

But now I can find scdaemon with "which scdaemon", and the only thing
that has changed has been that I compiled some software, installed some
packages, and, just this last evening, performed an update on my system.
 I hadn't had any success with the pinpad until some time after the
update last night.

So I don't know what happened to fix my situation (I wish I knew).  But
thank you to all of you who helped me.  You have been a big help. :-)
