i think a plug in for those who still type to hal that would repeat the answer each time would be good that way if its not saying something right the way it answers you could rephrase the way you say it and then see it when hal says it again . hal sometimes repeats the anser right away and sometimes doesent. if a plug in is made like this it would have to aloow how after giving the response to go ahead with regular resonses general talk after that . don't know if anything can be made or want to make this , just a suggestion .
