I would like to create an e-mail distribution list from a specific category
(ie company picnic invitees) . The inivitees are already assigned to this
category but I do not want to have to create a list by adding each person one
by one. Any shortcuts?

There is a very kludgey way to do this, but the real question is why do you
need to?
Categories are a far more robust and reliable way to group recipients than
are DL's.
You can easily use a category just as you would a DL.
Use the "By Category" view of your Contacts > Select a category > Actions >
