### About Instant Messages

You can communicate instantly with your buddies (friends, family, coworkers, and others) who are signed on to AOL, CompuServe 2000 (CS2000), or AIM. Add buddies to your Buddy List, send messages to them, and watch as messages pop up on your screen -- instantly!

Using the Instant Message feature you can:

- Share your favorite web site with buddies by including links in your messages.
- Change the default appearance of your messages by adding color and changing font and its size.
- Save your instant message sessions.
