When the Chat window is connected to a chat server, you can start a chat session. The chat view area displays a message stating that the Chat window is connected to a chat server.

To send a chat message:

1. Enter a message in the Message input box in the Chat window.
   You can enter up to 512 bytes for one message. You can also use the pull-down list to select from a number of standard and saved messages that have been entered in the Chat window.
   
2. From the User list box, select the user you want to send the message to.
   The User list box displays a list of the users who are connected to the chat server. The message will be sent only to the users whose check boxes are selected. By default, the check boxes of all users are selected.
   
3. Choose File and then Send Message (or click the Send button in the Chat window or press the Enter key).
   The message is sent to the selected users.
