At Zabaware home page       {http://www.zabaware.com/home.html}
 
is a heading   {Ultra Hal Assistant 6.0}    under that heading are the links


Information  {http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/index.html]

Download Now {http://www.zabaware.com/download.asp}

Purchase {http://www.zabaware.com/products/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=1}

Documentation  {http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/help/index.htm}

The “Documentation” link CLAIMS Hal can learn from a text file! I read that statement before I bought this product.

If hal 6 can not do as the “documentation” subtitle under “HAL 6.0” clearly states THEN
PLEASE REMOVE AS THIS IS FALSE AND MISLEADING ADVERTISING.


Teaching Hal By Loading Text Files Directly Into Him

You can have Hal read text files with the .txt file format and then the actual data contained within the text file will be loaded directly into Hal's brain. This method is a very fast way of teaching Hal new things but Hal still learns better by just talking to him. The data that gets loaded into Hal from a text file automatically gets processed into a format that Hal can read and understand. This new data then becomes permanent knowledge within his brain which he can then recall upon and use later during future conversations. To have Hal learn from a text file you just need to select the "Learn from text file..." option from Hal's menu and then select a .txt file, and then finally click the "Start Learning" button to begin the fully automated learning process.

I have recently bought this software and the characters expansion pack.  My hal has an Advanced Brain Options button but when I click on it I get only this message:

"Halscript Error 438 on line 2419 in column 4"

Is this normal for other new usres.

Per your request, I have removed that entry from the help file. The help file is from Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0, so there will be many other differences from the current 6.0 version.
