OK, I've spent a little time looking at this and think I understand a little better how this thing works.

One thing in particular it would seem that the extent and breadth of the AIML files determine pretty much how smart the bot is. I think most people are a little dissapointed with the default set. But... looking at the aiml set, I notice there are a couple of files that do not seem to belong to the default set.

std-65percent.aiml
std-pickup.aiml

The rest all begin with either numbers or the alphabet. It seems as though these two additional files add something to the personality of the bot.

Well, I checked out http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=43190 which is the download url for the original PHP program e, you'll see at the top, there are two sets of aiml files. It would seem that the two files I mentioned above, have been taken from one set and combined with the other. The interesting thing is that there are another 33 files in that set. I'm wondering if those additional 33 aiml files can be simply added to this hack to make a bot that is halfway clever.

Does this make any sense.

I'd really appreciate someone who knows what they are on, checking this out.

These extra files look a helluva lot like bolt on topics, or personality enhancements.
