Hi!

You know, a thought occurred to me again.

I know that if you are in a chat and want to add people, you hit 
COmmand-Shift-A, find the person in the list of the new window, then hit enter 
once. Then, if you hit enter again without moving anything, it usually brings 
them into the call. I wonder if the same method works from a call currently in 
progress.

So, I went ahead and tried. It did add someone into the call, actually. Now, 
what hapens though is that it will tell you that you created a separate 
conference. Regardless, it seems to do what you want, so that sounds a bit 
misleading to me.

Also, you are told you hang up, when you actually don't.

Regards,
Nic
