How to set WPA-PSK security on a wireless network

I have read Barb Bowman's article and listened to the wecast - great stuff -
however, my D-Link 524 router (which does support WPA) doesn't have a USB
port to facilitate the method described. I'd be very grateful for any advice
on how to set WPA or WPA-PSK for my small network (PC, Laptop and router).
Cheers.

Manually copy-n-paste the key between devices. Create the key, copy the key
to a .txt file (key.txt might be a good name), copy the file to your
different devices then copy the key into the configuration window.

That's what I do with my router, laptop and an iPAQ PocketPC...
