Thanks, Jerry. I think I followed your suggestions, but I see no improvement. I believe Hal, like myself, has a damaged brain. At least I am not communicating with him correctly. On startup Hal will greet me with my name, his name, the date and time. He will read from the clipboard and read popup windows. He remembers phone numbers and he will recall and dial them on request. He remembers appointments and birthdays and will remind me. He will read text from HalPad. He reads text files, but I am not sure if he learns from reading the text files. He does not chat with me, access the internet, open programs or help files. I have tried to chat with him using the format of sample conversations. If I can get him to chat, I believe the other functions will fall into place. I plan to explore this further with the Brain Editor. Thanks for your time and efforts. Roundtop
