Conversation Indicators
Most every screen you view within Instant Messaging, including the preview screen, contains balloon indicators,
one for each active conversation (assuming you have at least one conversation going). The balloon indicates
that you have an unread message from a buddy.
In addition, each open conversation is numbered and usually displays to the far right of the buddy name in any
of the lists. If you press the Menu button and the conversation number, that conversation will display on the
screen and become active.
