The Users palette lists all the current visitors in an environment.
Sharing Bookmarks and Avatars
You can share your bookmarks and avatars with other users of an environment by using the Send World and Send
Avatar boxes in the Bookmarks and Avatar palettes.
For example, if you wish to share a your new avatar with another user, you can drag your avatar from the My Avatars
section (or from the Current Avatar window) to the Send Avatar box and it will appear in the Received Avatars section
of all current users’ Avatar palette (note that the Send Avatar window is to the right of the Current Avatar window–
you may need to resize the Avatar palette to see it). From here you can drag it to the My Avatar section. When a
bookmark or an avatar is shared, its URL will be listed in the Chat palette if the Print URLs of Shared Links option is
checked in the Chat tab of the Preferences palette.
Interacting with the Environment
In addition to Portals and Chat, you can also interact with some Atmosphere environments through scripting that the
designer has included. Some common interactivity options are listed below.
