Hi,
copy the folder "palm\yourname\address" to "palm\2ndusername\adress". I think,
that's all.
Please mail, if it doesn't works.

There's an option "export" in the File(?) Menu. You can export only all
adresses(!) to a csv, txt (Tab separated) or aba (Pilot Addressbook).
You can then import the file (txt, csv or aba) to the other user's Palm
Desktop (Select the other user at startup).

I'm using Palm Desktop 3.0, and this works for me:

Open Palm Desktop, select user you want to copy *from*, put addressbook in
front.
File -> Export. If you have hidden records, you will get a dialog notifying
you of that. Click the Export button to continue.
You'll get a file dialog box. Export as.. should be Address Archive (*.aba)
for transfer to another Palm user. Type a file name. Click export.
Acknowledge completion of export.

Select the user you are copying *too*. Put addressbook in front.
File -> Import.
Select the file you just created in the last step. Click "Open."
Acknowledge completion of import.

Please write with specifics if you have any problems.
