Download the software and expand it as necessary
Install the software
Be sure you have an open connection to the internet
Start the application
In the file menu, select "new user" This will launch your
browser and take you to the registration page.
Fill out the forms. Don't whine about it. Use the email address for
the place that you connect through, otherwise it won't work.
You may have to select "sign in" from the file menu and sign
in, depending on if the server has been contacted by your software yet.
In the application window, click on "friends" , then the
"add" button, and add your own name and email address in the
dialog that comes up. This will tell you if you've done everything right.
Once you've done that, you should see your name get highlighted and a tone
will sound.
When the confirmation message comes in your email, reply to it the
way it asks you to. If you don't, you will be removed from the database
in a day or two.
Put in the names and addresses of others that you know are using the
pal software. When one of their names is highlighted, click on one and
then the "message" button and you'll be able to send them a message
directly.
You can do other things in the menus, look at them and see. It will
all be self explanatory.
From the file menu, select "export list" and save it where
you can find it. If the application forgets your list, you can import it
again. this way you won't have to reenter everyone's names and addresses.
In the future, start the application after you have connected to the
internet and it should automatically contact the server to see who is logged
on.
