In Outlook Express I was able to have seperate groupings of addresses
but that seems not possible in Outlook. Is there a way to do so?

Outlook does not do "groups" - it uses Distribution Lists instead. A much
better method is using Categories.

Was help not installed with your copy of Outlook? If it was then putting
categories in and searching will bring help.

If I open my address book and click on EDIT as instructed by HELP
there are no CATEGORIES listed.

You misunderstand. Categories do not appear in the Outlook Address Book.
They appear in the Contacts Folder. It is from there that you use them in
lieu of DL's:
