With IM, you tend to have two modes of operation. The first (and most common) is directly messaging a contact. If you do not have any contacts yet, this is not an option. The second is to create a virtual chatroom and invite your contacts into it. I think that you must be attempting the latter now. -- Jon Dowland http://alcopop.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
