>>
>> To accept the invitation go to the Window menu and choose the Buddy name at
>> the bottom. You will be presented with a list of buttons and one of those
>> buttons is marked Accept.
>>
>> To hear your subsequent incoming iChat messages spoken automatically, do the
>> following:
>>
>> In iChat preferences under the Alerts Tab choose Message Received from the
>> event pop-up button and then check the Play Sound check box and the Bounce
>> Icon in Dock check box and the Announce when Event Occurs check box
