The Java Tutorial (sitting right next to my keyboard) was the first place
I looked! I knew how to make a certificate request. But I had
no idea what to do with it!

Verisign's home page gives no indication of where one goes to get it to sign
an outside-generated certificate.

If you know where to go, you can get there. But I didn't.

And alternatively, since I had already gotten Verisign to tell Netscape a
digital signature, I was hoping I could somehow get the information from
Netscape to keytool.

I was frustrated whether I had Verisign create the signature, or whether I
did
it myself.

If you read the message I just sent, I still am. And the error is so
cryptic,
I don't even know what the problem is!
