Ah, thank you for the pointers to the man pages.  There isn't a man
page for seahorse so I assumed there was nothing else.  The man pages
for seahorse-agent and seahorse-tool are (to my mind) rather more
useful than the Help in seahorse itself.

I think I can understand what it does and how to use it now.  :-)
