Default Copying contacts from one profile to another in OL2003?

I'm not being sarcastic, Russ, I'm just being honest.
I can't do it because I don't know how. :-)

Nevertheless, I did succeed in accomplishing a selective copy, but cancelled
it when I thought it was taking too long and I thought it was going after
the entire contacts list. Unfortunately, I did not write down the steps I
took, and now that I'm willing to try again, I can't remember what I did.
Here's what I've got so far:

1) Know ahead of time which OL data file goes with which profile. (Control
Panel | Mail | Profiles | ... no problem here)

2) Open OL for the receiving profile. (Do I select Contacts at this point?)

3) Click File | Open | Outlook data file.

4) Double-click the .pst file for the sending profile.

The first time I got this far I was able to open the sending contacts and
select the entries to copy. and I managed to get to an option that would let
me copy selected items to the Contacts folder, but now ... I'm Alzheimer's
material.

Please help me get to the finish line.

Thanks. Bud

Why can't you just open the PST file in which they reside and copy them?
