Hi all,
if I'm not mistaking, I do believe that I remember seeing an area in the brain editor.
It was in this section that had to do with input response to activate a program using keywords like run, open, execute, and about a half a dozen other words.
Based on how you asked Hal to execute the program or text file etc. Hal would respond in a random sentence being the most appropriate for the one that you used to get Hal to open the program.
For myself, I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking its a much more proficient way to execute programs, and way more accurate, a lot easier to program because the program itself is specifically designed to do exactly that, I do not use my Dragon inside of Hal I use it outside of Hal, and I've turned off Hal's ability to execute programs, which by the way, the more you turn off, inside of Hal, the faster Hal will work.
Sincerely,
C load.
