   Hi Ralph,   
      
       Well, I plugged in my BabbleFish (see Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and   
   was able to read your   
   message, with a little   
   help from UTF-8.  My character set was set to 'Western'.  What is that used   
   for?   
      
       Your fix about dragging the names from one book to another worked.    
   However, I am going to make   
   things a bit more   
   complex.   What if the address books both reside under 4.7, but under   
   different user ID's?  I was   
   able to use the DOS   
   copy command to combine address books in the same user and then export them to   
   an LDIF.  I was then   
   able to import   
   them into my Netscape 7.1.  For various reasons, I still prefer to do my   
   emails in 4.7.  However,   
   when I tried to go in the   
   other direction by exporting an address book in 7.1 and importing it in 4.7,   
   the software went   
   through the motions, but   
   nothing got copied over.  Is this due to some incompatibility between the two   
   Netscape versions, and   
   is there some way   
   to work around this?   
      
                                            Thanks for your help,   
      
                                                           Sherwin D.
