User`s guide

A list of names appears as you type:
A bar parallel to the edge of the user icon will be displayed to the left of the
name. If the person has a UniCom account, the bar will be colored. The color of
the bar indicates that person’s status. If the person does not have a UniCom
account, the bar appears empty.
Note: The image above shows ‘Picture View.’ You may view your contact list in
‘Name View.’ In Name View, the Contact List does not contain pictures or
silhouettes. The Status of your contacts is shown with a small colored square,
called a “jellybean.”
Important: Using UniCom Basic, you may IM or call only those who have
colored icons. (Note, however, that all IU people are eligible to get UniCom
accounts; those with the empty bars have yet to sign up).
4. Double-click the name.
A new Conversation Window opens in IM mode by default; the IM pane
appears at the bottom.
5. Type your text into the bottom pane and press Enter.
Note: You do not need to search for people with whom you have already
communicated; you will be able to find them in the Contact List. Just double-
click the name in the Contact List and enter your message into the
Conversation Window.
To initiate an IM conversation in an existing Conversation Window:
1.
