Messages Area
Messages area displays chat messages. Each entry contains time, sender name, recipient (for private and personal messages) and message text.
On the top of the message area there are 2 buttons: Chat Rooms and History. If you click Chat Rooms button, a rooms list window where you select the room you wish to join will appear. Clicking History button will allow to view chat history that you can copy to the clipboard.
Send A Message Area

To send a private message to a certain user, you can select him from the Send To user drop down list and check Private checkbox on the right, or left-click the user's name in the main user list and click Send Private. This message will be visible only to you and the recipient.

If it's locked "Send to" and Private values will remain the same after the message has been sent.
