The basic thought was right, for which I thank you.  However, there 
was a wrinkle because Vista's file structure is different.  So, if 
there's a place to add a factoid to the collective knowledge, the 
right place for the monotone directory (at least the place that 
worked for me) is:

c:\users\howard\AppData\Roaming

There are at least two other directories under AppData which are the 
wrong ones to choose, so it's not automatically obvious where the key 
file goes.

P.S.  I didn't run any real tests to make sure things were working 
other than "mtn list keys".  I assume if I see my private key that 
way, then things are copacetic.
