Hello Again -- 
I would like to thank those of you who responded to my questions about 
setting up a global address book.  I'm making progress due to the 
technical notes and information you've supplied, but now have another 
question:

I've created the file loyola.addresses in /usr/lib.  It's protection is 
rwxr-xr-x.  I've invoked PINE via root in order to create the 
loyola.addresses.lu file.  

When I attempt to access the public address file via PINE as root I see 
the following messages:

file changed by another process -- resyncing...

resetting...

The cursor then moves to root's own address book.

When I try to access the public address file via a regular user account 
the same messages appear, but the process winds up in an endless loop.  I 
eventually have to break out of my session.

During both attempts at accessing the file, the information in the public 
file was displayed while all of the messages were happening.

Thank You!!!

There are some serious address book bugs in 3.90.  You need to upgrade to 
3.91 in order to fix the problem you're seeing.  Thanks.
