You can have one or more addressbooks in Pine. In addition to a
personal addressbook, one or more global, read-only addressbooks
can be set up (for sharing between multiple users). The names
of your personal addressbooks are specified in the Pine resource
file by the ADDRESS-BOOK option. Normally, this option is set
and modified from within Pine by using the SETUP menu and then
selecting the Addressbook menu; it can, however, also be set by
manually editing the Pine resource file. The built-in default
file name used for an addressbook PMDF_INIT:PINE.ADDRESSBOOK.
A "lookup" file is used to speed access to the addressbook. The
lookup file has the same name as the addressbook, with -LU as
suffix; e.g., PMDF_INIT:PINE.ADDRESSBOOK-LU. The lookup file
is generated automatically by Pine. Global addressbooks can be
specified using the GLOBAL-ADDRESS-BOOK option.
