Ok all I have heard so far about the Tabbed Chat Windows is nothing but nightmares. The Tabs clear when you switch them, all tabs show the same text.

Can someone explain how to use these correctly, my thoughts were I could put NPC text on one tab, BattleSpam on another tab, and Spell Info on yet another tab. Ok all how do I do this and is it going to work????
