The first widow that opens after clicking on Discussion allows you to view all messages in the discussion area by topic or you may view all available messages in the discussion area. By clicking on "Compose Message" you can add a new message or reply to an existing message.

Clicking on "Compose Message" will bring up the compose discussion message window which is much like the compose e-mail window you viewed earlier in the e-mail tutorial. Here you can compose a new discussion message or reply to an existing message. The compose process is very simple, just choose a topic or type in the subject at the left top of the window, and then type your message in the large composer box in the center of the window. After you have entered your message you can attach a file to your message by browsing or typing the file name in the lower right corner of the window. You can preview your message and then send it by clicking on post in the lower left corner of the discussion window.
