While connected to the internet, from an ms-dos command window from the
directory in which I have gpg.exe I execute the above command and it
says it wants a keyserver.

So I do:
gpg --keyserver http://pgp.mit.edu/
the response is:
go ahead and type your message ...
I type
--recv-keys 69a1ffc4
or
gpg --recv-keys 69a1ffc4 (or with upper case letters)

The machine goes off and cogitates; nothing happens.

Yes, I know I should switch to Linux, but not, please, today.

I try to make a connection with PuTTy and it does not work.

What is next, please?
