You've created a keystore and placed one element into it. When you say 
"show me elements" it... shows you the one that you've entered.

I've never tried to manipulate the keystore on the client's machine so I 
won't be any help there. My sense is that doing so would take a bit of a 
hack (or crack). As the keystore holds the keys (literally) to the 
client's security, the JVM probably tries to keep it pretty well locked up.
