= SUMMARY =

When you retrieve an address book from a floppy disk, if an existing book with the same name is already on the hard drive, you have the option to replace or rename the existing book. If you choose replace, Bob deletes any mailing lists in the existing address book that were not included on the floppy disk.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you choose to give an address to someone you can save it on a floppy disk. If you later choose to retrieve that address from the floppy disk Bob warns that an address book with that name already exists.

At this point, you have the option to rename the address book, or replace the one on your hard drive.

To avoid loosing any mailing lists based on this address book, always choose to rename the address book.
