ok, the decrypting was easier than the encrypting.. I did it this way, to look 
for "national" from the file:
gpg --decrypt FILENAME.gpg|grep national

encrypting, I did
gpg --encrypt FILENAME pbc

pbc is a local user, and I have a private key for  paul:
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 52C17B44, created 2007-02-13
      "pbckey <paul at pcartwright.com>"

so now I have the original FILENAME, and I have FILENAME.gpg

I can take that FILENAME.gpg, put it on my USB stick, and carry it around 
safely.. I  think..
