you must set up `gpg' correctly first, of course. look, e.g. at http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html "generating a new keypair" if you've set it up, it's simple: `gpg -e {your_passwords_file}' for encrypting it (you might also pass your user-id ("the recipient") directly via `-r', otherwise gpg asks) and `gpg {you_passwords_file}.gpg' for recovering the clear text. try it out with some copy first :-) hth joerg
