STEP EIGHT (Inviting Someone to Chat)

So let's say you see a buddy is online (their name appears in black and they're available to chat now because there's a green button before their name). If you want to invite them to a text chat, just double-click on their name and a chat window will open. You'll see the icon representing you (hopefully it's not a soccer ball) in the top of the window and at the bottom is a text field where you type your invitation. You can type in anything you like here (it can be as simple as "Hi!"). Once you're done typing, press the Return key and you'll see your "Hi!" appear in a conversation bubble beside your name and image icon.
