Switching Between Active Conversations
The Prev and Next keys on the keyboard allow you to switch between active chat windows. The
chat windows can be accessed in the order they were added relative to the chat window that is
currently in the foreground. For example, if there are 10 open chat windows, and you are viewing
window 5 of 10, pressing Prev will display chat window 4 of 10. Pressing Next will display chat
window 6 of 10. When the last window is active, pressing Next will display the first window. When
the first Window is active, pressing Prev will display the last window.
“Shortcut tip:” Another method of switching between conversations is to press the Buddy Button
and select the desired user from the list of active screen names. Selecting a screen name from the
Buddy List always displays that user’s conversation window.
IMessage Alert™
When a new message is sent from a buddy, a pop-up dialog will be displayed on the screen to alert
you. The dialog is displayed in the center of the screen and disappears after 3 seconds. This enables
the active conversation to continue without interruption but still enables you to know who has sent a
new message. A “Swoosh” sound is also played to notify you that a new message has arrived.
Following is an example of the popup dialog:
