Details of the issue Hello,
I'm very new to computercraft and to the forum and need some help. I want to have a chat program on a Monitor. I can't find something to this at google. Or is it not possible. Can you help me?

for a chat program, try this:

this one may also work

I didn't try any of them though, also I believe CC comes with a chat program build in but I'm not sure about that.

As far as getting the output on a monitor goes:
computercraft.info/wiki/Monitor

From the CraftOS shell, type monitor [top|bottom|left|right|front|back] [a-program-name]. For example, typing monitor top hello would show "Hello world." on the top Monitor.

Warning with this method though: I'm not sure if the output is also still shown on the computer itself. This may be important depending on why you want the chat program to appear in the monitor as you send messages with purely the monitor itself.

However, it looks like the first program can have multiple peoples in the same chat. So a simple work around would be to have 2 computers inside the chat. One without a monitor where you can write and the other with a monitor.
