## Chat A light command-line chat server is hidden in **KiTTY**. To activate it open your registry editor to **[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\9bis.com\KiTTY]** key, and create a new **REG_SZ** type value called `chat` and containing `1`. ![](../img/ex_chat.jpg) Then put that [library](../files/kchat.dll) just near your **kitty.exe** file. When launching the first KiTTY session, the chat server will automatically start. To connect the server and begin a chat session, create a **passive** telnet session at **localhost:1987** (**1987** is the port number). Of course you can start your chat session in the same KiTTY where you create the server (i.e. the first KiTTY window). ![](../img/config_chat.jpg) As it's not easy to have keyboard input and screen output on the same window, you can start a new dedicated input-box by pressing the **CTRL+F8** keys.
