using terms from application "iChat"
	on message received themessage from theBuddy for theChat
		tell application "iChat"
			if themessage contains "bye" or themessage contains "quit" or themessage contains "later" or themessage contains "cya" or themessage contains "see you" then
				send "Thank you for chatting see you later" to theBuddy
				close (1st window whose name contains full name of item 1 of (get participants of theChat))
			end if
		end tell
	end message received
end using terms from
