    Did you place BOTH the files where you were instructed?

    I'd say that you did not follow the instructions.

    Hello Bob!

    Replying to a msg dated 22 Oct 16 15:36, from you to me.

    Both files are in the directory with my GECHO. When I installed it took my keys from one. I'm not sure if there's a command line thing I have to do with the other one. Remember I am a bit visually disabled with a traumatic brain injury. I rely a lot on screen readers and sometimes I do miss a few things.

    I did the ginstall and it pulled up the serial numbers out of the GECHO.KEY

    I'm not sure what to do with the other file other than put it in the directory with gecho.

    I have run GSeUP KEYS and it pulled the following from one of the GECHO.KEY keyfile. What do I do with the second one? I tried it it does nothing.
    all I can figure out to do with it is put it in the gecho directory.

    After running "gsetup keys" the only file you need at gecho dir is keyfile.ge.

    Are you sure your key is for valid 1.20?

    It is valid and it now works. I don't know what I did to make it work, But it now seems to work. And it is tossing faster than anything I have ran so far. I

    will be transitioning my bases over to Wildcat using golded slowly.

    Which is where it goes.
