--encrypt does not return to command prompt

[Steve Butler]

It appears you are encrypting the $STDIN (what you type on the keyboard).

I place the --encrypt as the last item in the options list and follow it
with the file name.  As in:

 gpg --output tdeck.gpg --recipient sethsperman@charter.net --encrypt
tdeck.txt

You might want some other options if in a batch file (--batch --no-tty
--homedir xxx, etc).

Subject: --encrypt does not return to command prompt

When I run the following line at the command prompt, it **never returns to
the command prompt** but it does create a file:
gpg --output tdeck.gpg --encrypt --recipient sethspearman@charter.net  (I DO
NOT SEE IN SYNTAX HOW TO TELL WHICH FILE TO ENCRYPT).

It DOES NOT return to the c prompt BUT DOES NOT appear to hang in any way.
