Hi Tim,
You can do drag and drop from the list where your addresses are located
to the mailing list you are creating.
Here are the steps to perform, as per the Desktop keyboard layout:
Let's say your addresses are all stored in Collected Addresses, and the
mailing list you are creating is called List1.
Now, for simplicity's sake, let's say you want List1 to be stored within
Collected Addresses.
It doesn't really matter where you create a mailing list, but, below,
you will see why this is convenient.
Within your Address Book, in the tree view, highlight Collected
Addresses, and you will hear "Closed."
This is because it also contains the List1 mailing list.
Now, press right arrow to expand the node containing Collected
Addresses, but keep focus on this node.
Next, tab once to the list of contacts, and find one you want to add to
List1.
Press Insert-Numpad-Plus to route the mouse to that contact.
Press Insert-Numpad-slash to invoke the drag mouse mode, and you will
hear "Left button down."
Now, press Control-Shift-F to invoke Mouse Search mode, and type
"List1," and press Enter.
Since you had previously expanded the Collected Addresses node, the
mouse search should have found the List1 node just beneath the list of
contacts In your Collected Addresses.
You can confirm this by using Numpad-5 to read the current line.
Now, you can press Insert-Numpad-slash to disengage mouse drag mode,
which will copy the contact to the List1 mailing list.
This procedure simply copies, but does not move, contacts.
Note also that for subsequent contact copies, Control-Shift-F can be
replaced by Insert-F, since you are simply repeating the mouse search.
Hth,
Rod

Hi Tim,
Yes, it's simply a matter of opening the address book you want to
create the mailing list in, and go to the File menu and selecting
New, and then Mailing list from the pull-down menu.
