I really wish the pgp commands were covered too, because there's far from
being a 1-to-1 matchup.  I would post what I came up with, but I'm not
sure it's right,  and I ended up doing some of it in perl scripts anyway.

So I managed to get all the keys in my keyring and sign them.  Then I
issued the command that should put them back on the server, but when I do
that, they key is not signed according to the web page on the server.

For example,
  pgp -kx 'bill at horne.net' tmpfile4 http://pgp.dtype.org
should put that key on the server (I assume with the signatures too).
Indeed, I see my router lights twinkle when I do it, so I know some kind
of interraction is happening with the server.

Any hints?  Thanks.
