That looks possible, if a little primitive.  Man page is useless, but I'm 
going to try to figure out the sequence of fields it expects and edit my 
kaddressbook data so that it will import via csv.  Probably another place 
where I should use sed, but I expect I'll do it the hard way, switching 
columns around in gnumeric.  At least I know how to do that.

Thanks for the tip.
