• CHAT SESSIONS

When you send an instant message to another person you initiate a "chat session."
You can send instant messages to anyone if you have the person's user name. You
can also add that person to your contact list during an IM session.
To save a contact's IM user ID, see "Add a new contact" on page 99 or "Add a new
contact from Conversations" on page 99.
