    where your.server.name is the name of the server where IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 is installed and port is the port number that was specified during installation.

  2. Click IBM Telephone Directory.
  3. Click Search.
  4. Enter criteria to search for (such as a last name), and click Search.
  5. In the entry, click Add to Buddy List.
  6. Specify the Sametime group where you want to enter the person, and click OK.
  7. Click OK to return to the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application.

The person's name is added to your Sametime buddy list.
