That was my problem - thank you for the explanation.

I can see your points. I have only recently started using Linux, and the
command line functions are much more logical - however, using two sets
is even more confusing. Now I can't remember which way to slash :-) I
blame old age - but I get there in the end, with the help of my friends.

GpgEx is now working just fine. I used to use another explorer extension
( I forget the name - I think it used to be in Gpg4win?) which stopped
being developed so it will be handy to have one again.
