Hello Wilfred!

I have an option for my Blackberry.  I can send it through my own wi-fi
connections to a file directory on the device. But I have to do it from
my Win7 pc desktop which is at a remote location. :(

Nah.. Even if the secret key were sent with Gmail for example, its copy
would be grabbed and stored in the cloud forever.  The "they" people
could then feed the key to their petra flop computers to try and crack it.

I think it is absolutely imperative to never transfer a secret key
through a transfer mechanism that I don't have exclusive control over.
