The address book screen columns reflect the three parts of an address book entry: a short nickname (the part you type in), a real name (the part Pine shows on the message), and an address. A simple entry has only one address. A distribution list has two or more entries and is always marked ``DISTRIBUTION LIST'' on the screen.
The bottom two lines on the screen list the commands available:
Searches for word in address book, or goes to first/last address.
Shows two additional fields not visible when all addresses in
address book are displayed: Fcc:, for designating a
folder to which messages sent to that entry will be saved; and
Comment:, for annotating the entry.
