Thanx-- I never thought to use undelete.

Anyway, it worked like a charm.  Well, a very complicated charm, anyways.  
Took me two days, but I did it.  Two things worked in my favor.  1- I knew 
the approximate size of the file, and 2- it was a file type that my file 
manager (KDE2) didn't associate with an app.

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to grep the files since grep gave me 
grief over the number of args I was passing it.  Oh well, I got it.

This time, I've backed up my revocation certificate *and* my secret key.

Bill, thanx so much for the help!
