Nicknames are used to identify a specific participant within a Newsguy Chat session. The nickname will precede any comments made by the nickname holder. Selection of a nick name is made before starting, or entering, a session. When you first enter the Newsguy Chat screen, the cursor will be in the nickname box. Enter a nickname and select the enter key.
Nicknames are a temporary assignment and only stay in place for the duration of the active session.
All nicknames will show, regardless mode selected. The large window where participants' messages are displayed as they are entered. There should never be an active cursor in this window. The message window is used to compose messages. This heading appears above the participants list box and is the default Newsguy Chat selection.
