<p><font size=+2>Using the Chat Snapin</font></center>

<p>Before we can effectively explain the inner workings of the Chat snapin,
it is necessary to briefly explain how the snapin works.&nbsp; This way,
as we begin to discuss the code, you will better understand the features
to which we will be referring.
<p>Once ConsoleOne has been started, and Chat's initialization has completed,
the Chat snapin will be ready to use.&nbsp; The first thing that you might
notice, is a new button on your toolbar.

<p>Clicking on this button will display the <i>On-line Chat Users</i> Dialog.

<p>As you add the names of your friends to this list, you will be able
to monitor which of them are online and which are not.&nbsp; By starting
the update timer, this list will be kept current by probing the user's
object on a regular basis.
<p>There are two different ways to participate in a Chat session.&nbsp;
You can chat user-to-user, or you can enter Chat Rooms.&nbsp; To chat directly
with another user, just go to their user object in the NDS tree and right
click.&nbsp; In the popup menu, you will see an item the says <i>Chat</i>.&nbsp;
Just select that menu item to begin chatting with the user.&nbsp; You can
use the same method to enter a chat room.

<p>A Chat Room can be created by any user that has the right to create
objects under an Organization or Organizational Unit.&nbsp; To create a
Chat Room, select a valid container object and then either click the <i>New
Chat Room</i> button on the toolbar, or go to the <i>New</i> menu and select
<i>Chat
Room </i>from the list.

<p>The creator of a Chat Room becomes the owner of the room.&nbsp; Only
the owner has the right to delete the Chat Room object, and only the owner
has the right to forcefully remove a user from the room.
<p>Before we begin examining the code, you should take a minute and give
it a try.&nbsp; The better understanding you have of how it works, the
easier it will be for you to understand the code.
