To try it you best insert a new or scratch card.  Make sure your
_public key_ exists.  Then run

  gpg --edit-key YOURKEY

and at the prompt enter

  bkuptocard FILENAME

the FILENAME is the sk_foo file.  You will then be asked where to store
the key on the card (Signing, encryption, or authentication key).


Shalom-Salam,
