Trivial. Just have pgp look at the file without giving it any commands.
I.e. instead of
pgp -ka <filename>
do
pgp <filename>
Pgp will examine the file, tell you it contains keys, show them to
you and then ask if you want to add them to your keyring. This is
the way I normally add keys, just because I like to look at *any* file
before I add it to any system.
