What is the syntax for obtaining a list of the group names in the address book? Also, after determining which ones I want to delete, what is the syntax for doing that? TIA.

Hi,

try this

tell application "Address Book"
	set groupToDelete to choose from list (get name of groups) with prompt "Choose a group to delete:"
	if groupToDelete is false then return
	display dialog "Are you sure to delete group \"" & item 1 of groupToDelete & quote buttons {"Cancel", "Delete"}
	delete group (item 1 of groupToDelete)
end tell

Perfect. Thanks.
