It does. However, we have often need two input channels. For example for the data and the passphrase. You can't mix them. The edit interface is for human use only. If you want to to use it form a script you need to tell gpg about this with the option --command-fd and --status-fd. And you need to have write a FSM to properly interact with gpg's edit command. However, there is an easier solution: Switch to GnuPG 2.1 and use one of the --quick-* command for the most common edit operations. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
