Sure. Just do a CTRL-R to load in a file (into --Message Text--) and type
in .addressbook in the space provided. Or just attach it by typing
.addressbook into the Attchmnt: field.

Yes.  Just mail the file ".addressbook" from the user's account as an 
attachment, and unpack it into the same place on the target account.  
This has worked for us here going from one Unix system to another without 
a hitch.  The format is the same on all the platforms.  DOS may be 
different, though, I don't know.  Anyway, make sure that they don't mind 
losing what's in their existing addressbook when they bring over their 
other one.  Merging them is a little more difficult, but can probably be 
achieved by unpacking the addressbook into a different file name and then 
catting it onto the end of the existing addressbook.
