Excellent. I was popping in to ask this very question, and here it was. I haven't really had to worry about it too much, because in typing an address or name, it auto fills, but only if I've previously written the person. I spent about an hour trying to find a way to add a friend's address and finally just stuck it in a blank field to keep it. This helps a lot. Thanks guys!
