AIM creates the Buddies group for you by default, and you can add buddies to it or create new ones (such as Family, Coworkers, Golfers, etc.) to categorize the people who you communicate with frequently with AIM, AOL, or CS2000 .
To add a group or buddy to your Buddy List:
To add a group, type the name of the group in the Group field.
To add a buddy, select the group from the Group field, then type your buddy's screen name in the Buddy field.
