dear pineies,
	i was just wondering how can you select certain people from your
address book and put those people into one big group so all you have to
type is one name and the message will be sent to all of them?  how would i
go about doing that in my address book? 

					thank you,  thairish

It is an iterative process.

1.  Create a new entry in the addressbook with the name of the "list" as
the alias.  (You may have to put starter entry there.)

2.  Find the one of the people in your addressbook you'd like to have in
the list.

3.  Use t(ake) and enter the alias name created in #1.  You'll be asked to
"replace or append".  Choose "append".

4.  Go to #2.

Ed

An easier solution...

1.  Create a new entry in the address book with the name of the "list" as
the alias (along with a descriptive "full name").

2.  Put the cursor on the "Address:" line and type:
	^T	... go to the Address Book screen
	L	... enter List Mode

3.  Select the people you want including using the Arrow and "X" keys.
    Then type S (Select).  This will enter the selected addresses into the
    "Address:" line of your new Address Book entry.

4.  Save the new entry by typing ^X (eXit/Save).

Cheers,
