==Using the Local Chat Window==
When the Local Chat Window is '''activated''', it appears in solid colors. 

When the window is activated, the up and down arrows will scroll the text in the window, rather that making you walk forward or back. The [[Inworld]] functions however, are deactivated, and you will be unable to move your Avatar. 

When the Local Chat Window is '''activated''', you can press CTL+A to select the entire chat log, for easy copying to a file on your hard disk (using CTL-C).

To '''deactivate''' the Local Chat window, click anywhere [[Inworld]]. The Local Chat window will become semi-transparent, and your [[Avatar]] will be able to move again. New Local Chat will still continue to appear in the window.

Like all other [[Interface Window]]s, the Local Chat Window can be moved or resized. For how to do this see: [[Interface Window]].

In addition to the chat of other Residents, the Local Chat Window records various messages sent to you by the system, such as:
*Teleports that you have made, including the [[SLURL]] of the [[Region]] that you teleported from
*Objects that have you received or declined
*Friends that log on or off
*Messages from '''scripted objects'''

Certain items of information in the chat history are links, and can be used as follows:
*Clicking on the [[SLURL]] of a [[Region]] that you teleported from will teleport you back to that Region
*Clicking on someone's name in chat history will open their [[Profile]] window
