How do I add a contact to my contact list?
Contacts are at the core of Proteus. Technically they represent an instant-messenging account or a collection of instant-messenging accounts, but more fundamentally they represent a person. This page describes the process of adding, removing and performing various operations on contacts, primarily from the contact list.
How do I add a contact?
Select 'Add Contact...' from the Contacts menu or click on the 'Add Contact' toolbar item on the contact list window.
Select the Account that you want to add this user from, then enter the applicable service identifier, screen name, passport, etc.
Select the initial group this contact will appear into.
You can expand the sheet using the trigangle button to gain access to the Address Book section, which lets you link a new contact to a new or to an existing Address Book card.
How do I remove a contact?
Select the desired contact or contacts.
Press the Delete key, or select Delete from the Edit menu.
Confirm the operation.
WARNING: Serious damage to your contact list can occur if you rename or delete the groups Buddies and Individuals from your contact list.
