NAME
       xtalk - X Window System BSD compatible talk client, written in Python.

SYNOPSIS
       xtalk [user[@address[ tty]]

DESCRIPTION
       When  started,  xtalk won't actually try to connect until you click on the "Connect" button in the program.  xtalk accepts addresses in the
       same format as the regular BSD talk program.  From in the program you can enter the address in the "Address" entry.  At any point during  a
       talk session, clicking on "Disconnect" disconnects the session.

       The  format of a talk address is as follows.  To talk to a user on the same host, just use "username" as the address.  To talk to a user on
       another host, use "username@hostname" as the address.  If the user is logged in several times, you can specify which tty to "page" them	on
       by saying "username tty" or "username@hostname tty".

BUGS
       From user point of view, it seems that his own text in the window is editable, whereas in fact it is not.
