HOW CAN I MANAGE TO ADD MULTIPLE CONTACTS IN A GROUP AT ONCE?

I need to know how I can manage to put hundreds of contacts into one group
without adding them individually. For example, I want to create groups
regarding countries of origin. In the search box, when I type England, I get
all the contacts based in England; but then it seems impossible to select all
of them and add them into one group. It is going to take me days if I have to
do it one by one... Please help me! Thanks

This can be done with Drag and Drop.

While viewing your Address Book, create a new Group via the File menu. Drag
the group somewhere to the side of your screen.

Now highlight all of the contacts that you wish to add to this Group and
drag them into the white space in the body of the Group. You will see the
edges highlight.

Thanks Adam Bailey, but for some reason that I cannot figure out, the File... New... Group command is not available (GROUP is grayed-out) when I try this method. Anyone have any ideas why Group is not available? Thanks

Does File --> New --> Group work?

You have to be in the Address Book window.
