447 describing the nature of the chat--an explanation of the chat room's name. | |
6954 | 448 |
449 .SH AWAY MESSAGES | |
9073 | 450 Most protocols allow for away messages. When a user is \fIAway\fR, he can |
451 leave an informative message for others to see. The \fBAway\fR submenu of | |
452 the \fBTools\fR menu is used to add and remove away messages. | |
6954 | 453 |
9073 | 454 \fINew Away Message\fR provides space for one to enter an away message and |
455 a title for that message. If \fISave\fR or \fISave & Use\fR are chosen, | |
456 this message will be saved. It can later be referred to by the title given | |
457 to it. | |
6954 | 458 |
9073 | 459 \fIRemove Away Message\fR is a submenu containing the titles of saved away |
460 messages. Clicking on one of these titles will remove the away message | |
461 associated with it. | |
462 | |
463 The rest of the \fIaway\fR menu provides the user with a way to assign | |
464 different away messages to different connections. Choosing \fISet All | |
465 Away\fR will set away all the connections capable of the away state. | |
6954 | 466 |
467 .SH BUDDY POUNCE | |
9073 | 468 A Buddy Pounce is an automated trigger that occurs when a buddy returns to |
469 a normal state from an away state. The \fBNew Buddy Pounce\fR dialog box | |
470 can be activated by selecting the \fIBuddy Pounce\fR submenu from the | |
471 \fBTools\fR menu. A pounce can be set to occur on any combination of the | |
472 events listed, and any combination of actions can result. If \fISave this | |
473 pounce after activation\fR is checked, the trigger will remain until it is | |
474 removed from the \fIRemove Buddy Pounce\fR menu. | |
6954 | 475 |
476 .SH PLUGINS | |
9073 | 477 \fBGaim\fR allows for dynamic loading of plugins to add extra functionality |
478 to \fBgaim\fR. Plugins can be enabled and configured from the | |
479 \fBPreferences\fR window. See \fIplugins/HOWTO\fR for more information on | |
480 writing plugins. | |
6954 | 481 |
482 .SH PERL | |
9073 | 483 \fBGaim\fR allows for perl scripting. See \fIPerl Scripting HOWTO\fR in |
484 the Gaim documentation for more information about perl scripting. | |

9073 | 487 \fBGaim\fR allows for Tcl scripting. See \fIplugins/tcl/TCL-HOWTO\fR for |
488 more information about Tcl scripting. | |
