Murray, The last straw is after I got the stupid thing to put my 
signature into the message back to fedora It didn't do that right. And I 
just get Sorry your file is currupt.

So having made 3 key rings and numerous tries at getting the thing to 
work I am done. There is something odd about F8 or something I am not 
aware of is causing trouble. But I'm tired of chasing problems.

    Everything else seems to work fine.
