Subject: More than one addressbook?

Is there a way to select an addressbook of your choice. I would like to 
create a central address with all the addresses and then the users will create 
their own address book. What I would like to do give a choice to switch 
between these two address books.

Thanks,

>between these two address books.

With Pine, you can set up a global addressbook, which users will not be
able to edit.  This is in addition to their personal addressbook.  Pine
doesn't really let you switch between the two, on an either-or basis. 
Instead, it uses the combination of the two.  Regardless of whether an an
address is in the global or personal addressbook, Pine will find it.  If
you want to bring up an addressbook, you *can* however select either to
list.

To use the global addressbook, go into Setup/Config, and find the entry
for global-address-book.  One thing to remember, this list should be a
personal addressbook (so that it can be edited) for the administrator that
is charged with keeping the book up to date.
