Please paste that file into your Seamonkey profile directory, not into
the seamonkey program.
This is just a normal file-copy-command within windows explorer. So no
Seamonkey interaction is needed at that point.

Hi Tobias,
This may be the "aha" moment. Thanks ever so much for your clue. I'll
try it, and will let you know if I succeeded. It is frustrating to have
an advanced degree, speak 6 languages, and not be able to speak Windows.

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the new suggestion. I followed the directions in the link,
and found the profile folder, and the abook. I dragged the isolated
narrative old address book to that icon, and it "took" as its MB count
went up appropriately. However, when I then turned SeaMonkey on again,
and clicked on its address book, it still had only 39 addresses. I don't
know where the old plus new ones are hiding now, but I sure wish that
they would go to my SeaMonkey's address book icon, so that I could use
them. They represent about 10 years of addresses, and I really need hem.
Hi Mort,
before you copy your "old" and wanted "abook.mab" into your current
Profile-Folder, you have to close SeaMonkey completely, be sure you have
disabled Quick-Start too before.
Using the Windows-Task-Manager, you can look if there is a
"seamonkey.exe" Process still running. If this happen, you can kill the
Process using the Task-Manager.
And if you won't replace your new Addressbook, you can rename the old
one (or the new one) into "abook-1.mab" before copy the File into your
SeaMonkey Profile-Folder.

Hi,
Thanks again. As per previous posts, I tried all the things that you and
others advise. Due to the havoc wreaked by my "computer tech", the old
address book with hundreds of my addresses is self-standing on my hard
drive, not in any profile. It will not drag into my SeaMonkey profile ,
(with SeaMonkey completely turned off), and when I do copy, it will not
paste. So close, and yet so far.
Regards,
Mort
P.S. For some reason known only to Bill gates, all my other send mails
are fine, but my send mails to this group get sent but with an unknown
name instead of mort, and are not copied into my sent folder.
