My guess would be from the PMMAIL TEMP directory using a fully qualified path to 
the PGP executable.

(FYI this is also how I use PGP from the command line on the rare occasions I need 
to do so.  I type \pgp\pgp v ...  I don't have my LIBPATH and PATH cluttered with 
unneeded stuff [like PGP])

I don't believe so.  I used to have my keyrings on a floppy and the PGP executables 
on my hard disk.  So my PGPPATH environment variable was A:\PGP.  PMMAIL still 
found and used the PGP executables on my hard disk, but PGP used the keyrings 
on the floppy.
