PGP 5 is a little different than PGP 2 in that it's designed to be 
invoked as a bunch of different commands, rather than one command with 
a flag to choose its behavior.  So:

pgpk	Key management
pgpe	Encrypt (maybe sign too)
pgps	Sign
pgpv	Verify

In reality, the last three are links to a single binary named pgp5.  All
four commands have manpages, and they'll all print help information if
invoked without any flags or filenames.

Hope this helps,

Bruce.
