Hi *,

Does somebody can give me more info about the global address book usage?
I created a local glocal address book:

1. Pine says that the address book it "read only"?

2. How can all the pine users on the system, add entries in the file?

Xavier, we update this file with custom applications where we store in
tables additional information (addresses, phone#, relationships, etc.)
about our business contacts.  The custom apps are designed to update the
pine "global address book" each time information is modified or added to
this "Business Contact Table". Our "Business Contact Table" is editable by
our entire company. Updating the global address book is easy as it is a 
text file which stores "Name", "Nickname", "E-Mail Address".

Pine always makes global address books read-only.  You have to set it up
as a personal address book or us another program if you want to be able to
add entries.
