How do I select someone to talk to?

[Asia Skyly]

I know I can select a person's name if they say something in any of the public channels. I also can whisper to someone in particular if:

1. they send me a whisper.
2. they are on my friends list

How do I start a whisper to someone other than to choose whisper and type that player's name? Is there a quick select option?

you can double-click his name in the text box. on mouseover the names turn red, and double-clicking opens the box to whisper to that person. i don't know of a good way to send a whisper to someone who's just standing in front of you, though. i think you still have to type his name.
