        !             9: The command reference is the most useful part.
        !            10: 
        !            11: 
        !            12: NOTE!

        !            16: transfer keys between PGP users.  It does NOT attempt to guarantee
        !            17: that a key is a valid key; use the signators on a key for that kind of
        !            18: security.  This service can be discontinued at any time without prior
        !            19: notification.

        !            27: 
        !            28: Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your
        !            29: key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.
        !            30: 
        !            31: For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key if it is
