Exporting keys

I have checked the available literature, and can find nothing about
exporting private keys.
I like to duplicate my keyrings on the PC at work and also at home.

Currently I generate and edit my keys on a windows system with PGP and
import the alterations into GnuPG.

Don't like having to depend on Windows for anything!

Regards
Brian

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

gpg --export-secret-keys [names]

you may also want to throw a -a in there if you want an ascii output
