The chat Window is where you will type to either a single user via message and private or broadcast your chat to an entire room. With the new "message" feature, you can now send messages to any user in your address book on or offline!

Simply click inside the chat window and begin typing then press Enter. If you are using the Message feature, at the bottom of the chat window you will see the name buttons of users. These "light up" yellow if you have received a message.

Simply click on the name to read the message and respond.
