   I just type gpg + ENTER.  Apparently that is an option.  ;)

   I start to type my message, but there is no obvious way to save it.

   Nope.  The gpg editor does not dump the contents that I have in clipboard.

   Yes, ^C ultimately killed the session.  But none of the --commands on a   
   line by line basis did anything either.   
      
   The gpg editor is a mystery to me.   
      
   Doesn't your linux version have the live editor feature too?
