WDW Chat Instructions:

A Handbook for Christians Using the Internet

THE CHAT HELP PAGE may also be of help to you in learning how to set up or get to a chat.

The following instructions were posted by Lizzee on the WDW Encouragement Board.

There are two ways you can connect on the chat lines. One is easy with not many features and not always reliable, the other way involves downloading mirc (chat software)and setting it up, which only has to be done once and then you are able to use your new software to log in and chat anytime. Here is how you connect the two ways.
