I believe that ClipCache Pro <http://www.xrayz.co.uk/> can capture the passwords. It has been a long time since I had PGP on a Window's machine; however, I thought I use to do it with this utility. By the way, ClipCache Pro is the best text capture program I have ever used. I wish I could find something similar for *nix. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
