66 they are using. Double clicking a buddy will open a new \fBConversation\fR | |
67 window. Right clicking will pop up a menu: | |

9073 | 439 \fINew Away Message\fR provides space for one to enter an away message and |
440 a title for that message. If \fISave\fR or \fISave & Use\fR are chosen, | |
441 this message will be saved. It can later be referred to by the title given | |
442 to it. | |
6954 | 443 |

445 messages. Clicking on one of these titles will remove the away message | |
446 associated with it. | |
447 | |
448 The rest of the \fIaway\fR menu provides the user with a way to assign | |
449 different away messages to different connections. Choosing \fISet All | |
450 Away\fR will set away all the connections capable of the away state. | |
6954 | 451 |
452 .SH BUDDY POUNCE | |

454 a normal state from an away state. The \fBNew Buddy Pounce\fR dialog box | |
455 can be activated by selecting the \fIBuddy Pounce\fR submenu from the | |
456 \fBTools\fR menu. A pounce can be set to occur on any combination of the | |
457 events listed, and any combination of actions can result. If \fISave this | |
458 pounce after activation\fR is checked, the trigger will remain until it is | |
459 removed from the \fIRemove Buddy Pounce\fR menu. | |
