@ Dirk Gottschalk: Thanks for very effective response to my first question!
Remains: How can I see what is on the smartcard? How can I copy files to the smartcard? I studied the GnuPG Smartcard How-To (www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/smartcard-howto.html), but that is entirely linux oriented. Whereas I am working on a win7 system. HOWEVER, by trial and error, I found out that the same commands work on the command line terminal of Win7. I shall test it further.
