NAME

       xtalk - X Window System BSD compatible talk client, written in Python.

SYNOPSIS

       xtalk [user[@address[ tty]]

DESCRIPTION

       When started, xtalk won't actually try to connect until you click on the "Connect" button in the program.
       xtalk accepts addresses in the same format as the regular BSD talk program.  From in the program you  can
       enter  the  address in the "Address" entry.  At any point during a talk session, clicking on "Disconnect"
       disconnects the session.

       The format of a talk address is as follows.  To talk to a user on the same host, just use  "username"  as
       the  address.  To talk to a user on another host, use "username@hostname" as the address.  If the user is
       logged in several times, you can specify which tty  to  "page"  them  on  by  saying  "username  tty"  or
       "username@hostname tty".

BUGS

       From user point of view, it seems that his own text in the window is editable, whereas in fact it is not.
