Thank you Stephan - got it working.  For the record, I did not undo
anything that I had previously done. Just left the installation as it
was then did :

gpg2 --import /path-to-my-key/mykey.asc
inserted smartcard
gpg2 --card-status

then run tests. Can now sign and encrypt emails, sign and encrypt and
decrypt files although verify on its own causes me a problem but I
shouldn't think that is connected with the smartcard.

Thanks.
Philip
