402 .TP | |
6954 | 403 .B Add |

6954 | 414 .TP |
415 .B Send | |
416 This sends what's currently in the lower text box | |
417 | |
418 .SH BUDDY CHATS | |
9073 | 419 For protocols that allow it, \fBBuddy Chats\fR can be entered through the |
420 \fIFile\fR menu or the \fIChat\fR button at the bottom of the \fBBuddy | |
421 List\fR's \fBOnline\fR tab. | |
6954 | 422 |
423 Additional commands available in chat, depending on the protocol are: | |
424 .TP | |
425 .B Whisper | |
9073 | 426 The text will appear in the chat conversation, but it will only be visible |
427 to the sender and the receiver. | |
6954 | 428 .TP |
429 .B Invite | |
430 Invite other people to join the chat room. | |

434 .TP | |
435 .B Set Topic | |
9073 | 436 Set the topic of the chat room. This is usually a brief sentence |
437 describing the nature of the chat--an explanation of the chat room's name. | |
6954 | 438 |
439 .SH AWAY MESSAGES | |
9073 | 440 Most protocols allow for away messages. When a user is \fIAway\fR, he can |
441 leave an informative message for others to see. The \fBAway\fR submenu of | |
442 the \fBTools\fR menu is used to add and remove away messages. | |
6954 | 443 |
9073 | 444 \fINew Away Message\fR provides space for one to enter an away message and |
445 a title for that message. If \fISave\fR or \fISave & Use\fR are chosen, | |
446 this message will be saved. It can later be referred to by the title given | |
447 to it. | |
6954 | 448 |
9073 | 449 \fIRemove Away Message\fR is a submenu containing the titles of saved away |
450 messages. Clicking on one of these titles will remove the away message | |
451 associated with it. | |
452 | |
453 The rest of the \fIaway\fR menu provides the user with a way to assign | |
454 different away messages to different connections. Choosing \fISet All | |
455 Away\fR will set away all the connections capable of the away state. | |
6954 | 456 |
457 .SH BUDDY POUNCE | |
9073 | 458 A Buddy Pounce is an automated trigger that occurs when a buddy returns to |
459 a normal state from an away state. The \fBNew Buddy Pounce\fR dialog box | |
460 can be activated by selecting the \fIBuddy Pounce\fR submenu from the | |
461 \fBTools\fR menu. A pounce can be set to occur on any combination of the | |
462 events listed, and any combination of actions can result. If \fISave this | |
463 pounce after activation\fR is checked, the trigger will remain until it is | |
464 removed from the \fIRemove Buddy Pounce\fR menu. | |
6954 | 465 |
466 .SH PLUGINS | |
9073 | 467 \fBGaim\fR allows for dynamic loading of plugins to add extra functionality |
468 to \fBgaim\fR. Plugins can be enabled and configured from the | |
469 \fBPreferences\fR window. See \fIplugins/HOWTO\fR for more information on | |
470 writing plugins. | |
6954 | 471 |
472 .SH PERL | |

474 the Gaim documentation for more information about perl scripting. | |

478 more information about Tcl scripting. | |
