341 .SH AWAY MESSAGES
|
|
|
342 Most protocols allow for away messages. When a user is \fIAway\fR, he can leave an informative message for others to see. The \fBAway\fR submenu of the \fBTools\fR menu is used to add and remove away messages.
|
|
|
343
|
|
|
344 \fINew Away Message\fR provides space for one to enter an away message and a title for that message. If \fISave\fR or \fISave & Use\fR are chosen, this message will be saved. It can later be referred to by the title given to it.
|
|
|
345
|
|
|
346 \fIRemove Away Message\fR is a submenu containing the titles of saved away messages. Clicking on one of these titles will remove the away message associated with it.
|
|
|
347
|
|
|
348 The rest of the \fIaway\fR menu provides the user with a way to assign different away messages to different connections. Choosing \fISet All Away\fR will set away all the connections capable of the away state.
|
|
|
349
|
|
|
350 .SH BUDDY POUNCE
|
|
|
351 A Buddy Pounce is an automated trigger that occurs when a buddy returns to a normal state from an away state. The \fBNew Buddy Pounce\fR dialog box can be activated by selecting the \fIBuddy Pounce\fR submenu from the \fBTools\fR menu. A pounce can be set to occur on any combination of the events listed, and any combination of actions can result. If \fISave this pounce after activation\fR is checked, the trigger will remain until it is removed from the \fIRemove Buddy Pounce\fR menu.
