How to check an exported key's fingerprint

[MichaelQuigley at TheWay.Org]

Hello,

Using GnuPG 1.4.11 is there a way to check the fingerprint of a public key 
before importing it to the keyring?  The key was exported using the 
--armor option.  i.e., The file I have is named exported-key.asc

Also where would I find the instructions for this in the documentation? 
(So I won't need to ask again.)  The documentation I've located is either 
for GnuPG 2 or rather sketchy.

Thanks,
Michael
