I forgot to clarify my situation.

I am aware of using the 'a' option for addressbook, and I know about changing the personal name in my pinerc. I wanted to know if it is possible to do the following:

I type in 'mac' when it asks me for an address..
pine then puts the address that I originally placed in some sort of file.

I know that it is possible because it happens at this account (my school account)..I put the name of anyone on campus, and it responds with an address when
I hit return.

anyone understand my situation.  thanks to everyone who already wrote, and thanks to anyone who can help me now.

That's the addressbook that people have been explaining.  Plain and
simple.
