IChat will not let me use Return/Enter key to send IM.  Just makes sound?

OS 10.5.2. iChar launches fine. I double click name I want to send IM to. Type a message, then hit Return to send the message. It will not send. I here system sound when I use Return or Enter key on 2nd or 3rd attempts. 1st attempt, no sound. So, I can't send messages.
I repaired permissions and trashed the 4 iChat preference files in my preference folder.
Not sure what I have done but Return key is fine. Works in Skype and all other apps. iChat just does not like it so no way to send messages.
HELP.....
Thanks

Quit iChat.
Open Terminal (Applictaions/Utilities)
Copy and Paste Bold text
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
Hit Enter.
This will cause iChat to be started up and create a Log in Terminal which may tell us more.
Do what you normally do to send text messages.
Do what you do to Quit iChat.
Grab All of the Log.
Quit Terminal.
Post log here. It will be long. If you want to split it do so around the bit that says if it found UPnP and your router's name.
Make sure the bits cross over when you post.
