Yeah, I'm sick of exporting and importing, but I guess I'll do it. There's
more than one way to do it however, and neither involves the method I used
for all the other scripts since AB doesn't import text files. it looks
pretty well-scripted, however. I'll either script it, or do it by vCards.

But a lot will. It's got a lot of fields. Some (a lot) of it is stolen from
Entourage. Entourage could do worse than steal back 'label', which is a very
good idea. Then we could finally have 'home', 'work' and 'other' email
addresses by script. AB can do that. Also you've got to hand it to them: the
AppleScript plural of of 'person' (their term for 'contact') is 'people'.
