You already have Windows Messenger; it is compatible with MSN Messenger. You can do instant messages and voice-chat as well as file transfers with this program. Scripts are built into JFw. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Otten" <maryotten@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 5:52 PM Subject: easiest instant messaging client for use with jfw 5 Hi folks, I guess my subject line says it all. I am suppose to start helping somebody with a course they are taking, and they will agree to use any IM client I want. I've avoided these things like the plague, but it appears that I'm going to have to use one. I actually used AIM, probably not the most recent version, and it wasn't with JFW either. I found it something of a bother. I'm looking for a client that will read messages automatically as they come in, and that requires a minimum of hassle to learn, isn't cluttered up with junk and is keyboard accessible, i.e. something that has those features out of the box or has good scripts. I have JFW 5 and an xp machine. Any advice on which ones to use or to avoid would be appreciated. mary -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
