Kara,
It sounds like gpg.exe is not in your path.
you can get around this by adding the directory where gpg.exe exists
or by using a fully qualified path. I prefer the latter.
Example: assume I've installed GnuPG to c:\topsecret\spytools (btw, I
have not)
Open a Windows command prompt, a.k.a. a "DOS window".
[note: before you get in too deep, you might want to read a book like
"PGP & GPG", Michael W. Lucas. It's not perfect but it got me restarted.
No Starch Press, 2006. Try your local library.]
[if your GnuPG folder is not in your path, then, in the following, type, for
example,
>c:\topsecret\spytools\gpg
instead of just
>gpg
]
At your Command prompt, usually ">", type commands like these:
>gpg --gen-key [creates a GnuPG keypair]
[the following is a one line command to generate a revocation certificate in
case you ever need it]
>gpg --verbose --armor --output y...@yourplace.com.asc.revoke.txt
--gen-revoke y...@yourplace.com
>gpg --verbose --listkeys
>gpg --verbose --listsecretkeys
use Google to locate useful articles on GnuPG, example, GnuPG
tutorial

gerry (lowry)
