I followed the instructions for putting a ascii enclosed key into

Karl:
I haven't tested your key yet, but I'll take a leap of faith and say:
Congratulations
and thanks for hanging in there and working with everybody to find a solution, and, as a result, helping to improve the docs and the process of getting on board.
Best Wishes,

Take nothing on faith :-)
But I did find out what a ascii enclosed file is and a sample should be in the instructions. I was not aware it is 15 lines of code. I was putting in the 8 bit short ID and the web page barfed.
Here is what I would like to see in the join instructions.

You say that this is what you send to a server. I was surprised that the file was put in the "clipboard" by seahorse and the file was paste to the MIT web page on Firefox. This step needs some more help because you need to make sure the paste goes to the right window on the web page.
