Starting a Chat

When Instant Chat starts you will be presented with the Users screen.

InstantChatUserList

A green status indicator means the user has Instant Chat running and is available. A red status indicator means the user does not have Instant Chat running and is not available.

To start chatting with someone, select their name from the list and click Start Chat. The chat window will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen.

InstantChatStarted

1	The title bar of the chat window shows who you are chatting with.
2	This is the conversation area where all of the chat text appears. The text you send will be blue and the text you receive will be green.
3	This is where you enter the text you want to send to the other person.
4	Click Send to send your text, or just press the <enter> key.

Although you can only chat to one person in the chat window, you can have multiple chat windows open at the same so you can chat with as many people as you like individually.
