It seems difficult to keep track of who is in a group list in the Address Book as you are creating the group -- you have to select your "All" list to drag the names in, so you can't see the contents of the group. The best I could do is as follows:
Open the Address Book, and create the group you want. Drag the window somewhere out of the way. Go to Mail and select Show Addresses from the Windows menu. This opens another Address Book window as a floating pallette. Now look up your addressees and drag them to the group in the Mail Address pallette. They will show up shortly in the Address Book window that is also open.
This is still cumbersome compared with Entourage, where one can click and type a name in the group list, then select from a pulldown menu of matching choices. But it works reasonably well. Of course it would have been really great if Address Book would have imported my Entourage groups...
