My experience is that PMMAIL does not call PGP from the "command line".  I have 
PGP installed and I do not have PGP in my path.  In other words, I cannot type PGP 
at a command line and have it work.  However, PMMAIL found PGP on my disk and 
uses PGP just fine.  I have PGP installed in F:/PGP.  All the executables, config files, 
and keyrings are in that directory.  I believe that PMMAIL searches your system and 
uses the first PGP executable it finds.  So if you have 2 versions of PGP installed, 
you are asking for trouble.
