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 action: This is used to override the usual response. "x is <action> does the hokey-pokey". When asked about x, the bot does this "* blootbot does the hokey-pokey"
9 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.

13 dollar variables: D: To be used in factoids
14 dollar variables: $Fdunno - ...
15 dollar variables: $Fquestion - ...
16 dollar variables: $Fupdate - ...
17 dollar variables: $channel - channel from which the factoid was requested
18 dollar variables: $date - current date
19 dollar variables: $factoids - factoid count
20 dollar variables: $host - hostname of factoid requester
21 dollar variables: $ident - bot nick
22 dollar variables: $lastspeaker - ...
23 dollar variables: $memusage - ...
24 dollar variables: $rand - random number, also $rand100.2
25 dollar variables: $randnick - random nick
26 dollar variables: $startTime - start time
27 dollar variables: $time - current time
28 dollar variables: $uptime - ...
29 dollar variables: $user - username of factoid requester

32 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.
33 corrections: you can append stuff to a factoid with "also". "x is also at ..."
35 math: D: math expresions can be evaluated. This uses Perl syntax.
41 math: ** - to the power
47 redirection: If a factoid x contains simply "<reply> see y", then when asked for x, I will deliver factoidor command result y instead.
