Carmel,
Sorry I didn't see this yesterday.

Yes, the user I and password is the same one used to enter YLD.

Also, I think the message you're getting about the applet may mean you don't have Java installed on your computer. There should be a link on the chat page about installing Java.

: I am trying to go to the chat room site, but keep getting told that
: there is a problem loading the applet and that I need to reload
: and try again. I have no idea what that means. I have never gone
: to chat before and would really like to do so this morning (It's
: am in China where I am living) Perhaps I am not able to access
: the chat from here. Also, the instructions say to use the ID and
: password I was given when I joined. I apologize, but I do not
: recall what that is. Is it the same one used to enter YLD? Thank
: you for your assistance.

: Gratefully,

: Carmel
