   Enter your details using the danzeff keyboard, press digital-down (enter) to go to the next box, and again when you have entered your password to create the account.
   You might need to try a few times to choose a username that isn't already taken.

6. Once you press [SELECT] you will be presented with the main menu. From here you should choose 'Add Account' with up/down and X.
   When in a menu, you can press [SELECT] to close the menu.
   
7. Choose the account type to add. The next screen will vary slightly depending on the account type you choose.

9. You will be returned to the main afkim window, with any luck your account will connect and your buddy list will be filled with buddies. When your account is connected its icon will be colored, not connected accounts are shown in greyscale.
   If your account cannot connect the reason will be shown in the main window, you should remove your account before adding it again.
