Emacs could either use the keyring API directly, or it could use a helper program. When I was toying with keyring stuff I went the latter route. I can send 'ekeyring.c' (and 'keyring.el' for that matter) if you want it. FWIW the hard part about this project is just going through all the existing elisp and wiring it up to the keyring. Tom
