[ic] c.c. encryption

[Raymond Miecznik]

Hello,

Has anybody out there wrote clear instructions, (not puzzle hints) on 
how to deal with the encryption process of credit cards,
i only see the first 4 digits, the software by default encrypts without 
asking me, I know the basics of PGP, I used the command
prompt PGP program for years.

How does one fix so that I can see the order with full credit card 
info. ?

thanks a lot.

Raymond
