Instant Messaging?

-----------------------------------

Can Turing be programmed into opening a network message console, allowing other computers to connect to if they typed in the console name and have instant messages sent back and forth?

now sure what you mean by "network message console"

Turing comes with a Net. module, which allows for network communication. It is possible to build multi-user "chatrooms" in Turing (and that has been done).

What I meant was like MSN Messenger, sending IM back and forth between people and so forth.

If you want to send a message to someone's MSN account from Turing, that might be tricky -- you'd need to figure out how to connect and use their protocol.

If you want to send a message to someone running the Turing program that you wrote, then that is quite possible. In fact, Turing should come with an example of a chat program -- either in the example files or in the Help documents, under Net
