There are various chat software programs to run the Yahoo (and other) chatrooms without using the default Yahoo chat software. I am not a guru, but for starters it is full screen, allows cutting and pasting, and displays about 16 lines of text or more at a time (I only get 4 with Yahoo chat).

I can size the yahoo chat to be any size I want - can't you? - what do you mean by cutting and pasting? - links work... I was impressed with that. an improvement from when I was last in chat rooms.
