Although not an official standard, there are several link options that connect to
AIM. This functionality
can be added to Opera by adding a preference setting.
Adding this is very easy. Goto File > Preferences and then “Programs and Paths” and click on the “Add” button.
Fill out the panel like this [if you have installed AIM somewhere other than the default, change the path accordingly].
title="This is what the panel should look like after it is added"
alt="[screen shot of preference panel]" />
Click the “OK” button and the Preference panel should look like this:
title="This is what the panel should look like after it is added"
alt="[screen shot of preference panel]" />
Click “OK” again and the AIM links should work.
Note: For official information on this feature, read http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=535.

Would appreciate some help. I followed your directions to get aim to work with Opera with no luck. I’ve tried several different combinations with no luck. Thank you for any advice you may give.
