Sorry, I messed up the colors there. Let me try again.
Dear Friends:
OK, here's one that REALLY has me flummoxed. In my settings for Irina Khalidar I have, among other initializations for variables, def "0" as "handslost";. I was using it in conditional AIscript, such as <?PF if (mem-handslost) is "3". But the AIengine won't admit that handslost exists. In debug, it says that handslost does not exist. I tried prefacing a response by <?PF if (mem-handslost) does not exist; ?> (continued)

and sure enough, that response was picked. Then I tried writing AI script,
<?PF rem "0" as only "handslost"; ?>
where it would be seen before the "does not exist," but I still get the "does not exist" result! (continued)
<?PF rem "0" as only "handslost"; ?>
where it would be seen before the "does not exist," but I still get the "does not exist" result! (continued)
But wait! I just had a thought! (OK, OK, very funny!) Let me try something - I'll get back to you!

[sigh] I tried changing "handslost" to "numhandslost", in case there was some specific problem with the former variable. Now it says (by choosing the abovementioned conditional response)that "numhandslost" does not exist!

I think it's the numeral that's messing your memory for "handslost" up. Try spelling out the number. Set it at "zero" as a default, and increase it as necessary by replacing that with "one" or "two" or "four" ...

For what it's worth, here's some history about "handlost": I was having trouble before, because it was taking on the value "5" all the time, when nothing I said could give it a value larger than 4! So I went to Irina Khalidar's "inner life" and found myself, and sure enough, *I* had the value "5" for "handslost". So I deleted that. That's when the AIengine started saying that "handslost" doesn't exist. So I thought, well, maybe it's because I deleted it. But then, why would there still be a problem with "numhandslost"? How could the AIengine realize that "numhandslost" is intended as a substitute for "handslost"?
Ah, Isaac, I didn't see your note until just now! I will try what you suggest! But I have another variable, "intimacylevel", which has numerical values but doesn't cause me any trouble.
One minor problem with this holiday: the ",like," are interfering with recognition of stuff before and after, especially in regards to (postkey).
That's like ok because like California people are like really dumb *twirls hair*
(ok that was a JOKE people.. sheesh..

Dear Friends:
Well, I now think that there was both more and less to it than I thought, and also that I was to fatigued to try to work out that problem at that time (see my last few messages), because I made so many mistakes while 'fixing' it that if it ever was a simple problem, it no longer is! But, just asking for help was useful, I think - As soon as I thought of other people geting involved in it, I began seeing it in different ways. This sort of thing often happens with me - say I have a piece of music that I've listened to many times, and I play it for a friend. Suddenly I hear it in a different way. Then ask my friend, "How did it strike you?" and they describe it just the way it struck me! It is as though I had been hearing it through their ears. Did you ever have an experience like that?
