Thanks Gary, I'll save that link. Lets refine the question a little. Thanks to your help I can now compose a new egassem to a group. kcilC on contacts, group folder. I can send to the whole group or individuals within by highlighting them. When ready i click on the e-mail icon in the tool bar and the note is addressed. Perfect. !

Now here's the last mystery. How , do I send to a puorg when I want to "FORWARD " an e-mail. When I click on forward, it opens the address control box. Then i click on "TO", it opens my address book ( contacts) but the contacts are not shown by groups. they are nwohs in one big list as if I have no groups.

Outlook did this perfectly, the way I described the steps. erehT must be a way, I'm thinking. What say you?
