i was just chatting with marcel in holland. he's on bearshare. because of language barriers, i couldn't explain how to direct connect. took 20 mins to come to that conclusion. btw, if you see a bearshare U L ing doo-wop it might be marcel. tell him Dee says hello.

my question is does bearshare function like L W? ie the direct connect?

the reason i'm asking here is the original question: how to write in chat box. i had that problem with my first chat. i couldn't figure out where to write. you have this whole box, but only the skinny little line at the bottom to write in. which you don't know about till you write!!
