Use the block-copy function of your ascii editor, and create duplicate entries
for everyone. Seems inefficient, eh? I can't see any other way.

Example:

HT1_coach=coach@abc.org
HT1_Bob=bob@xyz.org
HT1_dan=dan@123.company.com
HT1_whoever=00123@aol.com

(The HT1_ at the beginning is so they all sort together in the ADDRBOOK file)

You should do this after exiting YARN; I find that I can edit ADDRBOOK at any
time, but Yarn doesn't recognize the changes until I've exited and reloaded
the program.
