Let's say I already have a distrution list made and I wantto put a new person
on the distribution list. I add them to my contacts. Is there a way of
adding them to the distribution list from the contact window? Currently I go
to email, new, in the TO: box I bring up the distrbution list and go to
properties to add someone. That seems like a long way around the block for
me. Any suggestions?

No. You can only add members to the DL from within the DL.

I was referring to an easier way to get to the distribution list, but I think
I have figured it out. Just go to the contact list where you find the DL, is
that your best suggestion?

Not just the best, but pretty much the only method.
