Thanks, all.I assumed it was pretty easy, but in the back of my mind I was
thinking, Na. A file copy? That's too easy. :-)One further step I had to take
was getting the gnome nautilus to understand what those asc files are. I found
seahorse is the gpg gui that adds plugins for nautilus and gedit. On my other
system (hard drive) I was using kde and so was using the kgpg as the
gpg gui with konqueror plugin.Bottom line, it's working and thanks!-----
