Ultra Hal 7.0 / Teaching HAL and using commands

Thank you ART,
Your info is of great help...
I made some IF THEN statements and watched as a new deductive.BRN file was created and modified. This helps me to understand how HAL learns.
Yes, I had noticed that if I made a statement of fact saying something IS, then HAL would quote it back...This is the sort of thing I am looking for.. Any more of these type of (instructions) KEY word/combinations would be helpful.
I also noticed that certain words that I used were being created and associations subsequently being created. The how and why I am still unsure about but I am getting the idea...
Yes, the TRASH issue I have seen when what say into the mic comes out as junk and HAL subsequently goes OFF topic or makes a false response. I would like to know if there was something at that point that I could say to reverse it in preference to editing all those brn files.. eg: "cancel that last statement" or "trash that"
In regards to importing info from a text file. Should it simply contain statement/sentences line by line or can it actually be a transcript straight out of book written in paragraphs. I created a short one with 5 sentences about me but I couldn't find where it ended up in the brain files if anywhere..
Great, so there is a file we can edit to modify the open command..
Which one... I have been telling HAL to "open Microsoft Outlook" like you I'd prefer to keep it short and say "open outlook" and not get Express..
I had a look at the brain editor... too much for me at this point and yes, I agree screwing around in there is probably asking for trouble. I also came across a few of the scripts you talk about, eg: the age one, and followed the instructions and it worked well.. small stuff like that I can handle at this point.
I am happy to muddle along with voice training and it is definetly getting better each day but I can't help but feel if we could train specific voice commands and individual words then accuracy could be improved a lot faster.
I do agree with you that voice recognition it is pretty impressive as it stands right now. I am only on my 4th time round on those 8 training pieces and already the HAL interface gets a lot of it correct... It's just that ability to take it back when it's wrong that concerns me.
Again, thanks for your advises... appreciated !!!
