| 459 a normal state from an away state. The \fBNew Buddy Pounce\fR dialog box | |
| 460 can be activated by selecting the \fIBuddy Pounce\fR submenu from the | |
| 461 \fBTools\fR menu. A pounce can be set to occur on any combination of the | |
| 462 events listed, and any combination of actions can result. If \fISave this | |
| 463 pounce after activation\fR is checked, the trigger will remain until it is | |
| 464 removed from the \fIRemove Buddy Pounce\fR menu. | |
