 Fresh Slack Install. How to retrieve PGP private key? Hello, I have just moved from one machine to another and completely reinstalled slack 10.

Here is what I would like to do: -I generated a set of pgp keys on my old machine -I'd like to retrieve them and implement them on the new machine. Where is this stuff stored? -Thanks Josh Beck      |
