      As it took me two months to get this far (my very own working
procmail recipe book), any suggestions that a rookie like me could handle
would could handle would be greatly appreciated.

You mean like this?
        :0:
        * 
^From:(.*\<)?(((george|fred)@somewhere\.com)|(dawn(_at_)sunrise\(_dot_)net))
        my-bridge-partners

That will do the same thing for george(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com, 
fred(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com,
and dawn(_at_)sunrise(_dot_)net, which is deliver to the folder 
"my-bridge-partners".
(Obviously, you could put any action you want there instead.)

That "(.*\<)?" at the beginning is so you will match things like:
        From:fred(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
        From:    fred(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
but not:
        From:alfred(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
        From: alfred(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com
etc.

Hope that helps,
Stan
