Trouble with transcripts happens regularly... it is somewhere, so keep searching.

And shadyman.. I think so too.. witness... search for keyphrase... nothing? xnone...

Bedawyn, is your other bot less than a week old? The transcripts page often doesn't get started for the first week or so.

Bedawyn, I don't know whether kephrases or xfavorites come first, but you can't delete keyphrases.

You can, but not xphrases... however, she asks what happens if you remove the responses in the xphrases...

Thanks, guys! The bots are the same age (created Thursday night) and roughly the same development level, which is why the differences in their behavior was confusing me. (The younger bot was off chatting people up way sooner than I expected, while the transcript-less one wasn't, despite being a little more advanced.) But ... right after I posted this, the transcripts mysteriously appeared!

Yes, I mean what happens if you remove all the responses from the xfavorite -- if an xphrase has no responses (not no custom responses, but no responses at all), what will happen? I'd test it, but my connection is so shaky and this has been so buggy already, that I wouldn't be able to pinpoint any problems to the change.

Yeah, you can't delete an xkeyphrase. That's what I meant to say.

It will just tell you that you must have at least one phrase, so you can't delete them all. You can't cange the name of the keyphrase either, like you can with other keyphrases.
You can get your bot never to mention favorites at all, by putting random things in the xfavorite, but I don't think that this is what you're after.

Hmm. Well, I'll have to play around with it. Another question: Is there a way to get a list of things that the xphrases respond to? For instance, the Book said not to bother making keyphrases for greetings because xhello would recognize them automatically, but I've seen it not recognize things like "aloha" and "greetings!" -- and even "hi"! You'd think "hi" would be a default, and it is on WordNet's list of synonyms for hello. So what's going on there, and is it possible to find on what it on the default list?

Not impressed

bot: I'm the only meddling Eskimo in my tribe.
Mouse: Does that win you any money?

Bedawyn, that'd be something to ask the Professor
