Main Window
The main view of the program lists other people with which you can communicate. To start a chat session select a user's name in the list
and click the "Message" button. Alternatively, you can double-click a username to open a chat session. To open a chat session with multiple
people, hold down the Ctrl or Shift key while you click on usernames in the list, then click the "Message" button.
Session Window
After you initiate a chat session with another user, or after someone sends you a message, the chat session window will open. The session
window has a list of people involved in the chat session -- the people on the list will receive all messages sent by anyone else in the session.
Below the session participants list is the history frame. This frame shows the history of communication in the session. The history will be saved
(until it gets too old) so you will be able to re-open this session at any time to look up information that you received in a chat session
The bottom frame is where you type your message. Once you are finished typing your message, sending it by clicking the "Send" button, or by
typing Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter.
