Currently PMInews and PMMail co-operate in sharing address book files.
i.e. the can both update them while running. A rexx script would have
difficulty reproducing this behaviour!!

At a minimum a new PMMail version would have to make sure that it 
didn't trample over the (old) address book files (that may "now" be 
considered to "belong" to PMINews, that way PMINews would at leat continue 
to function!). 

However, ideally for the alleged 4 of us who use both programs (ROFL),
it should be able to update them instead (along with any NEW address 
book files), after all, the code is already there.  This would allow 
peacful co-existance with fairly minimal development effort.
