Actually, ~/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf appears to be exactly the file I'm looking for. Opening it in an editor shows it to be a text file containing all my contacts, each entry starting with BEGIN:VCARD and ending with END:VCARD But Kontact/KAddressbook seems to have forgotten how to open the file
try adding it to your "KDE resources" via KDE systemsettings. you'll find these 'resources' under 'personal information' in the first line, if you view systemsettings in icon view.
Aha! In the Contacts window, some time ago I had hidden the resources pane, as I only use one address book and it uses screen space. Sliding it open again revealed my Address Book, together with several other choices including two entries called Personal Contacts, and five versions of std.vcf. I guess I must have added those in my attempts to get it working earlier today. Many thanks for your help.
