PGP Desktop Corporate - public key vs. private key

I need a solution

I created a keypair (public key and private key) on Symantec's PGP Desktop Corporate.  At least, I think I did. But now I need to send my public key to someone. Symantec's user guide says to make sure I only send the public key and not the private key.  But the userguide does not provide any clue as to which key is which.

When I click "All Keys" it shows only one key, which I can expand to show a total of three rows, each successive row indented more than the previous row, and each with a different icon next to it (key, envelope, and something that looks like a slanted pen resting on a small ball)  The key properties include an "ID" as well as an ID for a "Subkey."  These two IDs are not the same, but they are both 10 characters long.

When I use the program to create a text file of this key, I get an extemely long number (hundreds of characters long) separated occasionally by forward slashes.

Which is my public key and which is my private key?  How do I "separate" my public key from my keypair before I send it to other people?

Thanks!
