I think it would be nice so that when you go to send a telegram to a user
and in so doing click on the user name, highlight "Send Telegram" that the
Send Telegram dialog box actually takes the focus, instead of the browsers
main chat line window.

i maybe was not 100% clear

if you are in activeworlds, and feeling like sending a telegram to a friend.
You look to your contact list, scroll down, then select the user and click
"Send Telegram." After doing so it will bring up the Send Telegram dialog
box, but you will notice that if you keep typing after the dialog box comes
up, that the Send Telegram window doesnt' have the focus, so the text you
could or possibly were typing is now in the main chat line window. Its not
much of a big deal, just the simple idea that, if u run an instance of
something, you normally want that instance to come to focus, unless it is a
background service, in which this is not.

I also know it wouldn't take much code(if any at all) to fix. So i'm
guessing it may have been done on purpose, but if that is the case, should
be relooked at for a quick change.
