Actually, just a follow-up to this. I discovered that having yourself 
in your own buddy list, and inviting yourself (ie the buddy of 
yourself) to a Group Chat, does indeed emulate iChat's "Go to Chat" 
option, BUT ONLY when using the TOC library for AIM. If you have OSCAR 
selected, this does not work.
