[Lawrence Berlinski]

Have you added the USB stick's drive and GPG folder address to your PATH?

Is there a way to use Gpg via windows command line terminal with Gpg
installed on USB stick? No attempt I have made to do this, with Gpg
installed on USB stick and accessible to Thunderbird/Enigmail, has worked.
At best I can nevigate to the Gpg folder, and activate its .exe, but
entering Gpg commands produces only an unknown command response.
