Thank you for the above information. It's true that version 2.6.3 is a
"pure"  DOS  version  and  doesn't have a GUI. Therefore, your comment
about a Key Manager does make sense to me.

I think the best solution for me, if I insist on using 2.6.3 RSA keys,
would  be  to transfer these to my 6.5.8 version's keyring, where they
can  happily  reside  along  with  any  DH/DSS  keys and I'll use that
interface which as I found out works nicely with TB.
