Ouch. I really want to escape 'doze life, and there are a number of 
suitable ('doze) apps I am trying to get away from.

What is wrong with having  Field1, field2, Field3 etc etc and a default 
as 1 is Additional Names, 2 is Anniversary, 3 is Assistant's Name etc 
etc? For example there really are not enough address fields for the 
complex adresses around densely populated areas (I live near London UK)

There seem to be so few contact managers for linux and Kontact looks 
about the best I have found (searching hard today). I cannot do it just 
now, but I would want to consider modifying either files or source if I 
stayed with Kontact, or team up with others wanting similar.

Comments would be appreciated.
Thanks again.
