14 When I'm playing the game, people keep sending messages to me. How can I talk back to them?
On the bottom right-hand side of your main window you'll see two long
boxes. The top one is where messages like "Not enough fuel for phaser"
come up just before you die. The bottom one is the one you use to talk
to people. Move your cursor down there and type a character to choose
who to send the message to: 'A' for ALL, the capitalized team letter
for the team (i.e., 'F' for Federation), or the player number for a
message to a single player (i.e., 'c' to send to Rc). Type your
message and hit enter when you're done. Don't do this in combat.
On most new clients you can also begin a message by tying the "M"
key. Exactly what this does depends on which client you're using; it
will either move your cursor down to the message window, or just
change your cursor into a text insertion bar. Either way, hitting
"return" should end the message and bring you back to normal game
play.
