KDE users may prefer pinentry-qt or pinentry-qt4 which also works in text-mode.

Frank, JVP,
Thanks for the info. This completed the solution for me. Based on your
info and some background from
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG, I have the following in my
config:
$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
# Specify which pinentry program to use
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
I then reloaded the agent using this command:
$ gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye
and was able to decrypt the file from a virtual console, as well as
using vim to edit that gpg file. Just to be clear, in a console (withoug
a windowing environment), there is an ncurses prompt in the terminal for
the passphrase. In a windowing environment (KDE in my case), there is a
GKT2 window that asks for the passphrase. In both cases, the gpg-agent
saves the passphrase. This also works when I edit my encrypted text file
in vim. All works great now!
Thank you, everyone!
