IM forwarding isn't a feature of the IM client, but rather at the server side. You can go to AOL.com, sign in with your IM screen name, and set up mobile forwarding there. Once mobile forwarding is in place, AOL will forward messages to your SMS address only when your regular client is offline (or away), so you don't get messages to your mobile when you're sitting at your desk. HTH, Sam
