Entourage Groups

Ok folks, So I've selected File > New > Group and a dialog box popped onto my screen for me to create a group. So then I drag a bunch of contacts into the dialog box and sure enough, they all appear as a list in this group. Great! Now I'm all ready to go. Except there's no "done" button. No "save" button. So the only thing I can think of doing is to click the red "x" and close the dialog box window, figuring maybe now my group will be saved into the system somehow. (I even push Cmnd-S to be safe.) However, my group has disappeared into the nether, never to be seen again. Um, how do I create a grouping of contacts? What's the final step I'm missing here? Where are groups then listed? Or do I have the whole concept wrong somehow?

The group should appear in the address book under the name you gave the
group. If you forgot to name the group then it is called "Untitled Group".
In that case you can double-click on it and change the "Group Name:".

ahh.... boo that sucks. maybe I'll get used to it, but stuff like this reminds me why people like Apple's products so much more than those of Microsoft.
