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

[Karen Lewellen via Alpine-info]

Hi Chime,
I should have been more specific.
Indeed, I saved a new file of three address books.  Actually I opened the 
file  in lynx, chose to save, and made a new one..did not want to risk 
damaging  my address book file.
However, I am in alpine itself, not  DOS, for gmail too, using ssh to the 
shell server where alpine is configured for  my formally inclusive basic 
html account.
My hope was that in alpine there might be a save to notepad process that 
lets me block off the amount of text I want and copy it elsewhere.
Does this make more sense?

Thanks,
Karen
