  - There were some "features" of the first test chat package that I didn't care for. No logging and a difficult-to-change interface were just a couple. Decided to do my own package in asp and include it on the right side of each page. This will allow chatting from any page on Lotus Europa Central. Still much work to do.
  - Began testing a very basic chat page yesterday. Activity will determine if it stays, expands, or disappears. This is only a test.....
