If you right click your key and select "copy" it will copy your Public key.  Give this to people so they can send you encrypted messages.

If someone sends you a key, open notepad, save the key, change .txt in the dropdown box to "all files" and call the key (something).ASC

If you need to use their key, import it by clicking the "Import" Button

To encrypt a message:
Click Clipboard and type your message
Click encrypt and select THEIR key. Copy and paste the results in your message.

To decrypt a message:
Click Clipboard and paste their encrypted message.
Click decrypt and then your password.
