How about the verbiage for getting the home e-mail?

For instance....

tell application "Address Book"
	
	get name of people whose property street contains "Greenwood"
	
end tell

Doesn't work.

It might be, for you, but I've had no fun at all with it. Probably  
just me, but nevertheless....

My problem is that whatever variation on verbiage I write to find or  
replace data doesn't work.

I need examples of what DOES work.

Chuck
