To send a text chat to a Skype contact:

3.You will see a new screen with a field for entering in your messages. Just start typing, and when you’ve finished your message, hit OK and then Send.

4.You will notice that your sent message appears at the top of the screen, labeled with your Skype ID and the time the message was sent.

5.The contact will receive your message instantly.

When receiving Skype chats:

1.The chat conversation will appear on your screen, with a label at the top indicating who has sent the chat.

2.The message from the contact will appear at the top of the screen, with the Skype ID of the contact and the time the message was sent.

3.To respond, just start typing and hit OK and then Send.

4.If you wish to refresh your connection to update the conversation manually, open the Options menu and select Refresh Now at any time.

iSkoot even lets you chat with multiple contacts at once. When having more than one Skype text chat conversation:

1.You can navigate between the conversations by Switch.

2.You’ll see a screen that says Active Chats. Highlight the name of the person you’d like to send the chat to and click Go To.

3.You can always tell which contact you are chatting with based on the label at the top of the conversation screen. Please note: When one of the contacts sends you a new message, iSkoot will automatically switch to display that conversation, even if you had a different conversation on the screen.

Note: While users can sustain multiple chat conversations at once, iSkoot cannot support more than two participants in a single chat conversation.

To close out of a Skype chat conversation, just hit Cancel. You will return to your contact list.
