Where do you find the order to create a "Contact List". Under the
"Contact" section, I only see that one can give the order to make a "new
contact" i.e. an individual persons' contact info. By clicking on "new",
I do not see any opportunity for creating an address list with 20, 30,
or 40 addresses in it. Where does one find the command to create a
"Contact List"?

I am using Ubuntu 7.04, and I downloaded and installed evolution using
Ubuntu's "Add-Remove" facility.
