• When the permissions window appears, choose "Grant" to open the java applet. Is this safe?
• To connect, simply choose a nickname, such as WLSean, press the connect button, and voila! You're chatting! (Please use your real first name so that other students will know who you are.)

Basic commands:

• To chat, type in the textbar below the chat window and press [Enter].
• To send a private message to another student, type /msg {nick} {yourmessagehere} (This will bring up a new window) .
• To avoid annoying "spam" messages from people you don’t know, type /mode {your nick} +i. This makes you "invisible" to anyone not on the WLT channel.
