[Alpine-info] exporting the alpine contact list to a file?

[Karen Lewellen via Alpine-info]

Hi Chime,
My goal is to avoid cut and paste if at all possible, would rather get the 
entire file, download it, then use Wordperfect to generate what I require.
Toward that end, running the command ls -l with variation's of the dot 
addressbook name is not yielding a file.  Should I do this search in a 
different way?
Thanks again,
Karen
