Please read the PGP documentation thoroughly. Otherwise, using PGP will only
give you a false sense of security.
If Foo wants to sign Bar's key, he does
pgp -ks "Bar's user ID"
To extract that key in a format usable for sending via email, Foo does
pgp -kxaf "Bar's user ID" > bar.key
and sends the file "bar.key" via mail.
