Hi, This is for Internet Explorer 7.
Go to www.facebook.com Press Enter on the link which says, "Open Chat" A new window will open. You can now choose the person you wish to talk to. After finding that person, press Enter on that name. On top of the page, arrow down till you hear, "View Profile". Below it, there should be an Edit box where you can type the message. This box is like the history window for Windows Live Messenger. If you hear your name followed by the time stamp spoken then by the message, you have sent that message. If your friend responds, you should hear a "Pop" sound. Hope this method works.
