- <h6>Starting a Chat</h6>
-
- Chat allows two H/PCs to communicate via the IR port. This is great if you're stuck in a
- boring meeting and you happen to be sitting next to your friend who also owns an H/PC. By
- typing away you'll look like your studiously taking notes on the meeting at hand, which
- can't help your chances for a raise.<BR>

-
- <P>Here's what you need to do to chat between two H/PCs:
-
- <ul>
- <li>Point the IR ports on the two H/PCs at each other. The IR port is black and is made of
- a different material than the rest of your H/PC. It's usually on the back or on the side.</li>
-
- <li>With one H/PC, select <B>File | Listen for a Chat</B>.</li>
-
- <li>With the other H/PC, select <B>File | Join a Chat</B>.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <P>
- If everything is working correctly, the top text window on each H/PC will accept text indicating
- the chat is in progress. When the connection is lost (like when one H/PC quits the chat), the top
- text window will no longer accept input. The lower window holds the received text from the other H/PC.
