Please keep in mind that this is a GnuPG mailing list, where general PGP
questions are not discussed.

I don't know much about PGP 5 but probably you have to use "pgp -kg"

With GnupG you do it this way:

gpg --gen-key
gpg --export-secret-key user-id >secret.gpg
gpg --export user-id >public.gpg

And then use the import option on your client (gpg: gpg --import)
