With the group contents expanded, to the far left of each buddy screen name you’ll see their open conversation

applicable. Here’s what the icons mean:
Buddies who are “offline” are shown in the Offline folder in italic font.
Running vertically down the right side of the screen, all the conversations with unread messages are symbolized
by little balloons, with the conversation number in the balloon. Note also that if you have an unread message,
you will see the AIM icon in the title bar:
Manage Groups
You use “groups” to organize your buddies, much like you use folders to organize your email and text messages.
You can create new groups, rename existing groups, move groups, and discard existing groups. Note, however,
that you cannot discard the “system” group, Offline.

1 If your Buddy List isn’t displayed, press Back until your Buddy List displays.

New Group dialog box opens:
3 Type the new group in the Name box.
