Importing AIM away messages?

Is there a way to import AIM away messages from one screen name to another... on the same computer? I was able to get the Preferences saved and loaded, but the away messages (which I have painstakingly typed out several of) remain AWOL. Is there some .dll file I have to copy and paste elsewhere? Help!

They should be in a subkey here in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Users
You can export the key to a file, though you might need to open it with Notepad and change the username there. Hopefully that'll do it.
