I am almost done writing a tutorial for GPA. It started as a help file
but it ended more up as a tutorial so I've began with a help file to.
Here are some of the things I'll put in:
BASIC GPA:
 * Setting gpa's options
 * installing?

KEYRING EDITOR:
 * Generating Keys
 * Signing Keys
 * Importing Keys
 * Exporting Keys

FILEMANAGER
 * encrypting/decrypting files
 * signing/verifying files

Maybe this isn't complete yet, so if you know of something else, please
let me know. I'll put a first version of the tutorial and the help
online as soon as I have the time.
