How to Add a Screen Name in America Online

You can have five screen names on AOL 4.0. Each screen name acts as a separate account, but access is controlled by the "master" account. By giving a child a screen name, for example, the child can get his or her own e-mail, but the parents retain control over the account and can set access privileges.
