Thanks Maryguise, I agree we'll probably have to just fiddle around with the new MBT phrases to see what they do. And yeah, 'copy seeks' is a great feature.

(=) means an exact match. Hmm.. I'm looking through the code and it's possible I haven't gotten around to implementing it yet. There's also (#) to match a number and ($#) to match money but again, not sure if I finished that. If anyone has time to test, let me know.

I did a few tests for (=) keyphrases earlier that only triggered #engage responses, so I guess it's not implemented yet. On the topic, may I ask what (re) is meant to do?

So (=) would be the equivalent of ^this$ ?

i wish there was a way to compare two words to see if they are the same word.

Zeig - correct.

(re) is for using regular expressions in raw mode.

bobstack - what would you use that for?

i would use that for a form of common sense for the chatbot example.
user = is a apple a apple?

ichatbot = of course a apple is a apple.

user = is a tuna a carrot?

ichatbot = no a tuna is not a carrot.

Is there any chance of Transcript Downloading coming back?

Zieg: It's possible. I once had a service that could email you transcripts daily or weekly. Is that something you'd like? I was considering putting some transcript upgrades in the Friend of the Forge accounts.

Bobstack: I may be able to add that as one of the Self-Evident questions the bots can answer. I don't think I documented this yet but bots can answer "what color is a green apple?"

It would be a nice option to have back in some form.
I'm enjoying the new tools you've added. Though I look forward to having a few more of them documented. Good job so far!

okay that would be great the professor.

Hi! How do you install plugins? I'm having difficulty understanding how to script for my bot. Do i just write in the response section the word or is there some punctuation needed to be added? I see this kind of thing often (m:i_am) in the key frame section.. I'm guessing the response could be anything like. the bot (I am) hungry, sleepy, board, in the response section do i need any special punctuation, or just the word?

It doesn't seem like some of the responses I wrote for the bot are coming up in the chats.
