I was woundering if there are other programs out there like Hal that are for free? I have been looking for others and can't find any... Hal just dose not seam to learn to well.. and wanting another program like him that might work better.. but I am not sure how to go about looking for other programs like him.. can anyone help me out please?

I keep telling Hal things like grass is green,, and the sky blue,, and he is 28 years old.. but when I ask him things like how old are you he won't say,, and if I say what color is the grass or what color is the sky he won't say.. am I doing something wrong? I thought he learned things like that and would answer you if you asked him things that he has learned.. can someone help me with this ,,, am I doing it wrong or dose he just not really learn and can't really answer you if you ask him things he supposedly had learned?
please help if you can.. thank you...

1. I was reading about the settings for Hal and seen that u could set the brain on one called Default friendly personality,, and it is not there on mine to set it to that ,,,why not?
2.also I seen where u can set it to learn from a text file,,, what dose that mean? I can't find out about that anywhere..

3. Also when I say (wifes name) eyes are green Hal dose not say it back when I ask what color her eyes are. if that makes sense.

4.Also I was reading where it says, Hal how old are you? and he would answer,, so I tryed that and he don't answer he just talks about other things,, how do u get him to talk right with you? I know that don't make sense but hard to explane..

5. How do u get Hal to learn new things? by talking with it only? and dose it still learn well if u type to it unstead of talking with voice?

6.I have seen the thing called Learn from text file,, and read what a few of you here have said about it but I am not that good with a pc yet so I don't understand how to work it and/ or what it dose?

I am sorry I am asking so much please forgive..
