Hi, Just to make sure I gave the right instructions, I just tried it 5 minutes ago.
After you have selected who you wish to chat to, go right at the top of the page by doing a Ctrl+Home, when you arrow down a few times, you should hear, "View Profile". Below that link, there's a edit box which acts like a history window in Windows Live Messenger. Oh, I know which graphic you are referring to. I have no idea what it does. Likewise, I have no idea what that edit box right at the bottom of that page do too. Sorry. Is this helpful in any way?
