'What is PowerPGP? - PowerPGP is simply a shell program for the ' +
'DOS based FREEWARE PGP Program. You must '
'have the PGP program installed prior to running PowerPGP or it w' +
'ill do nothing. PowerPGP was designed to make '
'writing and Encrypting E-mail messages E-mail messages simple an' +
'd easy in Windows. It is designed mainly towards '
'that end although it can also encrypt files as well. This file ' +
'will cover the basics of PowerPGP operation, it will not go '
'into detail on how to use PGP itself. PGP has it'#39's own very wel' +
'l put together set of documentation that you should have '
'already read and if you haven'#39't go do it now. Also it should be' +
' noted that there are many more advanced options to '
'PGP that are not supported in the shell. The idea was to keep i' +
't simple and easy to use so I did not put in options that I '
'myself would not use on a regular basis. PowerPGP will encrypt ' +
'and decrypt messages for any internet mail program or '
'any Windows based BBS program because it uses the Windows Clipbo' +
'ard to cut and paste the info to and from the '
'application.'

'Writing a message with PowerPGP. - To compose a message that yo' +
'u intend to encrypt with PowerPGP is simple. You '
'simply type the message into the message window of PowerPGP and ' +
'enter the Public Key name of the user you intend '
'to send it to in the "Public Key To Use" box of PowerPGP. When ' +
'you are done writing your message you select the '
'encrypt option. PowerPGP will then write the file to a temp file' +
' and shell out to the DOS PGP program with the correct '
'commands to encrypt it and then read the encrypted message back ' +
'into the message window. PowerPGP will then '
'automatically delete the temp files it wrote. You now have an e' +
'ncrypted version of your message in the message '
'window. You can then click on the "Cut" button and it will cut ' +
'the encrypted message to the clipboard. You then go to '
'the message editor on your mail program and paste the encrypted ' +
'message into your compose message window, It '
'sounds a lot worse than it really is. Also it should be noted t' +
'hat you MUST have the public key to the person you are '
'sending the message to on your public keyring already. Once you' +
' encrypt a message to someone with their public key '
'not even you can decrypt it, only they and their secret key can ' +
'decrypt it. For more information refer to the PGP '
'documentation.'

'Decrypting a message with PowerPGP. - Similarly this is done wi' +
'th the clipboard. First make sure your message window '
'in your mail reader is wide enough that none of the lines are wo' +
'rd-wrapped where they are not supposed to be. You will '
'be able to tell trust me. Making sure the lines are all even th' +
'en select the entire message block including the BEGIN '
'and END PGP message lines. PGP needs these to know when to start' +
' and stop decrypting, without them decryption will '
'fail. After selecting the entire encrypted message copy it to th' +
'e clipboard with whatever command your mail reader uses, '
'usually Ctrl-C in windows programs. Then go to the PowerPGP pro' +
'gram and select Paste. PowerPGP will automatically '
'replace anything in your message window with the encrypted messa' +
'ge. You can now decrypt the message with the '
'decrypt key. If the message was properly encoded with your publi' +
'c key by the person who sent it you will be able to read '
'it after decoding if you do not have the secret key required to ' +
'decrypt the message decryption will fail. Once you read '
'the message you can select the quote option and it will quote ou' +
't all the text so you can reply to the original message '
'and follow the encrypt message options to encrypt a reply back t' +
'o them. Make sure you specify their public key for '
'encrypting a message to them. You do not need to specify a publ' +
'ic key for decryption, PGP will automatically search '
'your Secret keyring for a valid secret key and prompt you for yo' +
'ur pass phrase to decrypt. Always be sure to protect your '
'pass phrase and secret key DO NOT GIVE EITHER TO ANYONE!!!'

'Signing a message with PowerPGP. - This is exactly the same as ' +
'encrypting except you use the Sign button instead of '
'the encrypt and PGP will ask you for your pass phrase to verify ' +
'it is really you signing the message. Note. PowerPGP '
'automatically uses the CLEARSIG method for signatures. This meth' +
'od signs the message but leaves the message text '
'readable. This is so the person you are sending the message to ' +
'can verify that you
