AUTO START FEATURE explained:

=============================

AUTO START in IMSMS allows any new incoming text message to auto start IMSMS - even when IMSMS is NOT RUNNING. To allow this feature, you must enable it in the SETTINGS -> PREFERENCES MENU option. You must then SAVE your settings and then SHUT DOWN IMSMS. After shutting IMSMS down, you must RESTART IMSMS. This will turn on the auto start feature. Now you can simply EXIT IMSMS. The next incoming message will auto start IMSMS. To disable this feature, you must have IMSMS running. Go to the SETTINGS -> PREFERENCES MENU and disable the AUTO START option. Save your settings, and then shut down IMSMS. Next, restart IMSMS back up and AUTO START will be cleared.

AUTO DISPLAY FEATURE explained:

===============================

AUTO DISPLAY feature in IMSMS will automatically bring IMSMS to the foreground if it is hidden. This happens when a new incoming message arrives and IMSMS is hidden. It will not bring itself to display if you have your phone locked. It will auto select the default friend in your friends list when it brings itself to the foreground. Any new messages that is not coming from the selected friend shall be displayed in a notification alert and dynamic alert (Menu->Alerts).

Chat Log Storage Path:

======================

When changing the path to where the chat log files are stored, be sure to RESTART IMSMS in order for the new data path to be set. If you have old chat log files in a directory you wish to have IMSMS load, simply set the chat log path in the MENU->PREFERENCES and RESTART IMSMS. The program will reload all your existing chat log files.
