Does anyone know of any way to save a buddy list and load it into another screen name for AIM. I use pidgin right now. If not able in Linux, can it be done in Windows? (I can probably gain access to a machine to do it).

Anyone have any ideas?

Im pretty sure the official AIM client (the old school one, not triton) could do this, may want to look into that, and also create a request for this to get added into pidgin

It's all in ~/.purple/blist.xml

Just do a search-and-replace on your old screen name with your new one. I think that should work, at least...back it up first, just in case...don't want it erasing the old user's list if that doesn't work.
