would like to know the answer to this too. How do i get hal to use programs other then aim. I would like him to have his own yahoo messenger or xfire account for instance. But i can not seem to get it to work. Xfire is the preffered chat system as I can then chat with him thru xfire while in game. Is there anyway to teach hal to play a computer game? I doubt it right now. But This is the type of thing I am looking forward to coding.
