[bionet.molbio.news] need for memory resident address book

Jim,

If you had a Mac, you could use the Address-book utility in Borland's
SideKick to store all your names and E-mail addresses, and then you could
simply "cut" and "paste" them from the address-book to your application.
(I do this all the time).

Better, if your Mac runs HyperCard and MultiFinder (now free with all 
Macintoshes) you could create your own PERSONALIZED address-book with fields
large enough to store even the most obscure E-mail address. Again, you 
could cut and paste between book and application. (Where the application
could include a terminal emulator logged on to a remote host).

Best, (if you were feeling particularly enthusiastic) with HyperCard, you could
actually write a SCRIPT in HyperTalk that would do the "cutting" and "pasting"
for you. 

 
Sincerely,

Sunil Maulik			ARPA/BITnet: Maulik@bionet-20.arpa

P.S. Disclaimer: I have no relationship to Apple Computer, etc. etc.

P.P.S. The BIONET MM program allows you to specify a filename at the "To:"
prompt containing one or more E-mail addresses within it. Simply precede 
the filename by the "@" sign at the "To:" prompt. For example, I have a 
file called CASSATT.ADD containing:

		CZJ@NIHCU.BITNET

When sending mail to this esteemed personage, I simply type at the 
"To:" prompt:

	To: @CASSATT.ADD <cr>

and MM pops in " CZJ@NIHCU.BITNET ".
