Groups
You can create your own private groups for an instant messaging conversation,

server of the service provider. If the server you are logged into does not support
group services, all group-related menus are dimmed.

group with which you want to chat, and select Join. If you are not in the group,
enter your screen name as your nickname for the group. To delete a group from

To search for a group, select Groups > Public groups > Search groups. You can
search for a group by a member in the group, by group name, topic, or ID.
Private
Connect to the instant messaging service, and select Groups > Create group.
Enter the name for the group and the screen name that you want to use. Mark the
private group members in the contacts list, and write an invitation.
