5 main: I learn mainly by observing declarative statements such as "x is at http://www.xxx.com", and then reply when people ask things like "where can i find x?"
7 author: oznoid (mailto:lenzo@ri.cmu.edu) is my original author.
9 corrections: If I come back with "...but x is at http://xx.xx.xx" or something like that, and you want to change the entry, use "no, x is at http://sdfsdfsdf". The "No," tells me to supercede the existing value.
10 corrections: you can append stuff to a factoid with "also". "x is also at ..."
12 action: This is used to override the usual response. "x is <REPLY> does the hokey-pokey". When asked about x, the bot does this "* blootbot does the hokey-pokey"
14 reply: There is a special tag, <reply>, that is used to override the usual response. Usually, a response is "X is Y", but it can be made "Y" by making the entry "X is <reply> Y".
15 reply: This is a good way to close junk entries; use "X is <reply>" with nothing after it.
17 alternation: The || symbol in an entry causes an blootbot to choose one of the replies at random. "X is Y|Z" will produce "X is Y" or "X is Z" randomly.
20 lobotomy: i can be given a lobotomy ([o] is required) if people start to abuse me. to bring me back to life, give me an unlobotomy
22 unlobotomy: which is not possible in real life, an unlobotomy will bring me back to life in the case of a lobotomy.
24 addressing: it is a good idea if i stay in REQUIRE mode then i won't yell out random crap if i listen in too hard. currently there is no way to turn this of on-the-fly.
