-====== Synchronet Inter-BBS Instant Message Module ======
+====== Instant Message ======
-The purpose of this module is to provide a real-time inter-BBS instant message feature for participating systems.
+The Synchronet Instant Message module is used to provide a real-time inter-BBS instant message feature for participating systems.
+This module is normally invoked from the [[chat_sec|"Chat" menu]] or from the [[:module:PrivateMsg]] module with the 'I' key.
+===== Install =====
+==== Chat Menu ====
+If you're using the default ''[[chat_sec]]'' menu module, you should already have it installed on that menu (the ''I'' command key).
+==== Global Hotkey ====
+To get access to instant-message module from virtually //anywhere// within the BBS (e.g. using Ctrl-P), install the (new) [[:module:PrivateMsg]] module in SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Private Msg (the default, ''privatemsg'', should be all you need):
+  Private: (T)elegram, (M)essage, (C)hat, (I)nterBBS, or (Q)uit:
+==== Logon Event ====
+To display a list of currently active users (on other inter-BBS instant message capable systems) during user-logon, add an external program to [[util:SCFG]]->External Programs->Online Programs->Main (or your section of choice)->Available Online Programs... and configure as follows:
+<file>
+Name                       Synchronet IMSG List
+Internal Code              SBBSIMSG
+Command Line               ?sbbsimsg -l
+Multiple Concurrent Users  Yes
+Execute on Event           Logon, Only
+Pause After Execution      Yes
+BBS Drop File Type         None
+</file>
+All other settings can be left with their default values (No/None/blank).
