You have to open the Open PGP Key manager and from their export your public key to a file. You then have to visit one of the public key servers and upload it there. I'd advise you not to use the internal PGP implementation. It's a very early version of PGP, i.e., v2.6 and it therefore doesn't support a lot of what the later versions have to offer, the most important thing being the new key types, i.e., DH/DSS keys that so many of us use. You would therefore not be able to use our keys. I suggest downloading PGP 6.5.8 or a later version. The later versions, i.e., v7.x.x don't have TB! plugin support but you can still use them via PGP Tray, a shell tool that comes with all these later GUI based versions of PGP. PGP6.5.8ckt would be a good choice since it has TB! plugin support, and it has enhancements that offers you some of the later version functionality.
