I created a nym with a public key. Now, it's become the default so
when I go to send an encrypted message, I get prompted to enter the
password for my nym key.
So, for the $64,000 question: How I can get my *original* public key (the one with my
"real" email address) to again be the default.
Thx.

I assume you are talking about a nym.alias.net account, and that the
problem is when you want to sign a message with a key other than your
nym key?
Add a line like this
MYNAME = <you@your.email.address>
to the file $HOME/.pgp/config.txt. (Or wherever the equivalent is
under DOS. Perhaps someone can tell me where the config.txt file
lives under DOS and I will add that to the help file.)

I presume you are using PGP.
There is a configuration file option to do what you want.
