I think that groups are just another way to sort contacts in a
particular log. All the groups associated with that log are
loaded at startup. You can set the group that new contacts are
added to. This would be handy for separating mobile contacts
from home station contacts for instance; or keeping track of special
event stations such as the recent German World Cup stations. If you
only want contacts from one group to be displayed, I think you would
have to put them in a separate log.
