That part I know.  I don't want to add them to my addressbook.  I want to 
add them to distribution lists that are already in my addressbook.  I 
want to be able to invoke the "Z" command inside the "T" command.

Pine is trying to save you a keystroke and got it wrong.  If there is only
one address it assumes you want to create a new simple addressbook entry
instead of adding to a list.  That will be fixed in 3.92.  Here's a
workaround.  First Select the message, then instead of Taking the address
try Apply Take.
