It would be nice to be able to export and then import, because on the
import, it gives you the opportunity to exclude duplicates and basically
merge two contact lists. I have some contacts on my home computer, but I
have most set up at work. I would like to export work and move it to
home without clobbering the home ones. By moving the data files, it
becomes an either/or proposition.
