The xzewd sender window: the destination box

# The Destination Box

Xzewd uses the contents of the destination box to tell where to send a message. You can send to people, instances, and classes. You can also change your signature and how the message is sent on a per-message basis, without going through the options dialog.

The destination box is set automatically when you click on a button in the list window or the snapshots window. You can also type in it yourself, which can be even easier than clicking on buttons when you use completion.

- Keyboard reference.
- Quick reference to the destination format.
- The destination format in depth.
