OK, Tom... we'll get ya started:
If you already have AOL, don't use their internal IM feature... it doesn't talk to anyone outside AOL who doesn't have the AOL IM client. You'll need to download the external AIM program at
www.aol.com or also at
www.download.com. Download and install the program. If you have already an AOL account, use your screen name and password; otherwise, it'll ask you to create a screen name and password. There is an Express version on the AOL IM site but don't use it... it's very much bare bones compared to the download.
In the Buddy List pop-up window, you'll have the opportunity to add screen names. I'm usually on as ASPhiAA814. To participate in a group chat, you'll get an online invite from someone in your buddy list to join; or you can create one on the fly.
Give us a holler if you have any questions.
