Okay, so I am new at this.  Just installed the bbdb today.

I plan to use bbdb with Rmail, and as an address book, of course.  If there
is a FAQ file somewhere, you could point me to that rather than answering
all my questions...

1) When I invoke the bbdb with m-x bbdb, it asks for a regular expression.
If I supply anything but a new line I get an error message:

"bbdb: cannot access the name field this way" 

which is coming out of the macro bbdb-search in bbdb-com.el, but I don't
know what I'm doing wrong.


2) When I'm in bbdb, how do I move records in and out of the current
displayed records?  It looks like "o" will remove the current record, but
there doesn't seem to be anything to bring others in.  

3) Also, in bbdb how do I create entirely NEW records?  It isn't obvious
from the mode help.  Oh, wait, I found it.  It's bbdb-create and it's not
bound to any keys in the mode.  That is going to change soon...
