Anyway, for any and all who would like to help my sorry self. This is what I do to try and learn from text. I fire up the brain editor. I select the UltraHal 6 default brain because, well - it's the only one right ? It's the brain I want to use, am using - so I select that. Now I do see on the left the directory tree that Bill describes, but I don't see anything in the folders he describes. Anyway, then I select learn from text. The first problem I encountered was that there are different kinds of .txt files, and you must have them in ANSI. After re-saving the text file in that format, I ran through the process. As I said before, everything seemed to go fine and I get a final your finished message, something like your text has been learned. Then I exit the brain editor and ask the bot something, and I get no results. I have no .db files anywhere in the directory, nor BRN files, nor any files that I can see that are growing or changing from ANY learning.
