One pal might have several addresses stored in PenPal Pro. Launch this screen either by clicking on the "Addresses" button from the Penpals screen (which will automatically fill in the Name list) or from the Main screen (you will have to select a Pal by name). To add a new Address, click the button in the upper left corner. There are only 2 required bits of information for Address, marked by a red asterisk ( * ): the pal's name and the kind of Address this is. The Address box then lets you write the address in a natural format, maybe all on one line for an email address, or over several lines for a physical address.

Some pals need a prompt return and you might mark them as &q
