Hi Aidan
Tobii Communicator 4 (Commercial Interest Declared) has built in support for MSN. You simply fill in your login details and password and it populates the ready made grid sets with all of your contacts and conversations.
Your contacts are then contactable via text or symbols.
Have fun

Subject: Access to Chat and/or Instant Messenger Programs
Hello all,
I was wondering how someone with an individual with a physical
disability accesses various Instant Messenger Programs like MSN Live,
Yahoo Messenger, Skype (to chat with a contact rather than speak) or AOL
Instant Messenger?
I've tried various ALT and CTR commands to navigate around with
different success - Yahoo Messenger was particularly difficult to use as
it seems to lose focus on the window very easily.
Are there any conventions out there for accessing these programs?
Cheers,
Aidan.

Hi Aidan,
Using something like the Grid from Sensory software enables a switch or mouse only user to access these kinds of programmes reliably and consistently
