    5.1 The "Talk To" Input Line:

    In the uppermost line "Talk to" you can enter one or several talk addresses, separated by comma.
    If you click on the arrow at the right side of the line, you can choose one of the addresses you most recently talked to.
    A talk address has the form "name[@host][#terminal]"
    "name" is the login name, "host" is the IP address of the computer, that your partner uses, and "terminal" is the terminal window the talk message shall appear in. The host and the terminal can be left out.

    By pressing the button Talk the connections are established, by pressing Cancel the window is closed without connecting.

    The middle window offers you the different addressbook entries. By selecting one of them, you will be shown the address / addresses associated with it.

    5.3 The Addresses:

    The lower part shows the addresses associated with the selected entry of the addressbook. You can choose an address with the mouse to add them to the "Talk to" line.
