OK...that sounds rather simple. I don't use the 3-button method any longer with Phoenix 1.5 (Thanks again Adam!). I'll give it a shot. Also, have never done IRC webchat...Although I did visit once, but just watched the text, without a clue how to jump in...told you I was a nOOb!!
Thanks for the help, dan...Chuck
When you join the IRC next time, just start typing in the field at the bottom of the window and hit enter to send to the channel.
Simple.. ;p
