If he has AOL 5 for the PC he has the ability to save/replace the address book. Some versions of AOL 4 also have that ability. Go to Mail Controls/address book, and see if there's an icon there for save/replace. I fthere is, you can write the address book to a file, copy to a floppy and then use the replace option on the other PC's.
