CHAT ROOM TUTORIAL
You will remember that the Right column of the "Communications" room is the link to the Chat Room set up for each Task Force.
1. The easiest way to use this Java link to the chat room is to simply double click on the link
2. Then the Java applet will begin and present you with a sign in box 
3. Simply type in your first name (real names are preferred so everyone knows who is "takling") and click "the "Connect" button. (putting in your e-mail address is optional).
4. Once in you will see a set up like this:
5. You will note the address of the chat site is in your browser's address bar. To "speak" in the room you only have to type your message in the "box" at the bottom and hit the return/enter key when you are done typing your thoughts.
6. On the right it lists one user right now "Scott" but as the room fills up then everyone who is in the room will be listed there.
7. Look at the short conversation captured below. This is what "Scott" would see. He would see the contributions of Becky and Scout noted with their names prefacing their remarks. But he would not see his name anywhere for the computer assumes he remembers who he is.
8. There is a much fuller and more robust version of this chat program -- mIRC available to any and all of you free. You can down load it to your computer by clicking HERE and THEN selecting the "Download mIRC" option.
9. Full details and explanations on how to set up the program are provided graciously by Shelia Harbet of CSUN.
10. If you download and install the program, you must remember to join the right channel to join the conversations of your Team Mates.
11. So when the "mIRC Channels Folder pops up and askes you to type in the channel you want to join
make sure you type in the right channel name for the channel everyone else is going to.
12. The channels are ingeniously named. The channel for Task Force #1 is "TF1", and the channel name for Task Force #2 is "TF2" etc.
