 @subsection Decrypt/Verify Data from the Clipboard
+The most common case is propably that you got a signed email and 
+now you want to verify it. For this procedure, you have to copy 
+the entire signature in the clipboard. The easiest way is to
+use CTRL+A and CTRL+C, then all available text will be copied.
+WinPT (GnuPG) is smart enough to figure out the signature related
+data. Now go to the taskbar, display the popup menu and select
+Clipboard->Decrypt/Verify. Now a new dialog, the verify dialog,
+should be available on screen with all information about the
+signature. For example who is the signer, when was it signed
+how much do you try this key and what was signed and most 
+important, the status of it (is the signature good or BAD).
+A special case is when you don't have the public key to verify
+the signature, if this happens WinPT offers to download the key
+from the default keyserver. If the key was not found, the procedure
+is aborted because without the key the sig cannot bed checked.
 
 @subsection Sign the Clipboard
+We assume that text that shall be signed is already in the
+clipboard. If not, select the text you want to sign and copy
+with via CTRL+C in the clipboard. Now go to the taskbar and
+open the peopup menu, Clipboard->Sign. If you just have one
+secret key, the passphrase dialog will be automatically shown.
+All you need is to enter your passphrase and confirm. In case
+of more available secret keys, a list with all keys is shown
+and you can select which key shall be used for signing.
+The output is always a cleartext signature which is in text
+format. Do not try to sign binary clipboard data, the result
+would be unpredictable and not readable by human beings.
 
+ at section The Current Window Support
+Compared to the clipboard mode, the CWS mode has some advantages.
+Let us assume that you want to extract text from an editor window.
+With the CWS mode, the program automatically tries to focus the
+window to select the text and to copy it to the clipboard and
+execute the selected command (Sign, Encrypt, Decrypt).
+No manual user interaction is needed. Except this different behaviour,
+it is very likewise to the clipboard mode and thus we do not describe
+each command again.

 @section The Key Manager
 
 This part of the program is propably most important for many users.

 take a look into the GNU Privacy Handbook.
 Just a last work on Key Pairs, they are automatically marked as
 "Ultimate" because the key belongs to you and you trust it implicit.
