Argument template:
     SALUTATION/K, FIRST/K, NAME/K, STREET/K, CO/K, ZIP/K, CITY/K,
     STATE/K, COUNTRY/K, BIRTHDAY/K, PHONE/K, FAX/K, EMAIL1/K,

Function:
     The current address (if one exists) is modified in the given
     fields.  The former contents of these fields is deleted. Fields
     that are not given as parameter are not changed and keep their
     former contents.  Please notice that parameters that contain
     spaces have to be set into quotes, for example:

              EDIT 'COMMENT="A test that contains spaces"'


     Please remember to use ' for the outer and " for the inner quotes!

     Since version 2.2 of DFA has been completed, the behavior of the
     /T modifiers has slightly changed. If you want to switch a /T
     parameter on, you have to supply a ON or YES just behind the
     according parameter. To switch a parameter off, use the keywords
     OFF or NO, e.g.

              EDIT GROUP1 ON GROUP2 OFF GROUP8 ON SELECT ON
