  but if it doesn't in some subtle ways, will i still at least be able
to *see* entries in the addressbook?  i took a shot at hooking up one
of the addressbooks earlier this morn and, while the name of the book
shows up in the turba list, it shows up as entirely empty.

  (is there a log file for diagnostics for turba that might be
helpful?)

  ok, but if i don't do that now, i can always adjust that later, yes?
for now, i just want to get the addressbook contents visible.  i'll go
for perfection after that.
