dunno. what about ctl+s (select all) then ctrl+c (copy) then ctrl+v paste into a notepad document?

Under 5.1.3036 there is a save feature under file in the chat session, upgrading at this time so newer version unknown at this time.

It has always been possible to save an instant message conversation by cutting and pasting it into another document or performing a "save as" function. But the new tools make it much easier, and once turned on they start recording every word sent through the messaging program.

Yahoo Messenger users must turn on the archive. But people are not warned beforehand if the person they're chatting with has the archive turned on.

Because of the nature of instant messaging, many people assume their conversations disappear after the IM window closes. But the addition of message archives on Yahoo Messenger and ICQ allows people to manage their conversations like they would an e-mail account. This makes some privacy advocates nervous.

AOL's ICQ has had a message archiving feature since its inception. Unlike Yahoo, ICQ automatically logs conversations once someone signs on for the first time. However, ICQ users can choose to disable the logging on an individual or an overall basis. As with Yahoo, people are not alerted when someone logs their conversation.

Versions of AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and the instant messenger in the AOL online service treat archiving differently. Macintosh versions support archiving, although the default is set to "off." AIM for Windows does not have these features. All versions of the services allow people to save their IM windows as separate files.

To Save IM's, with the IM open, Choose File - Save and add the location and name of the file you want to save this to.

Alternatively, The shortcut for this is Control-S
