LL, I don't know anything about Macs either, but if you're operating ICQ in 'Simple Mode,' it won't show you the bar for finding an ICQ Activelist. If that's the case, there should be a bar to change to 'Advanced Mode.' Click on that and follow the instructions.

When you get a bar for 'Find/Add An ICQ ActiveList,' click on that. This will bring up the ActiveList Search Wizard, which asks for search information. You can search by ListID (#62415725), or by List Title (FolkChat). When you've entered your search term, click on the 'Next' button and follow the instructions from there on. Hope the ICQ Mac interface isn't so different that these instructions are all wrong.

Brett, BTW, the instructions in my second paragraph should also work for you. The main thing you needed to know was the ICQ # or List Title. The one thing I can't remember is whether you have to wait until radio's on the air to join the list or you can do it anytime. Don't be daunted by the 'asking for permission' to join. I believe it's pretty automatic and it all takes just a couple minutes, if ICQ's cooperating (it doesn't always).
