[alicebot-general] ALICE Launching Programs

[mehri]

If you want to silence your system command do this:
 <think><system>commandgoeshere.exe</system></think>
 
The most common usage of <system> is for users to be able to use external applications to help form responses from their bot.  So most interpreters pass the system command to the OS, and return the text from that call.

The specification of system:
http://www.alicebot.org/TR/2001/WD-aiml/#section-system

Leaves the text being returned pretty open: 
The system element may return a value.

But usually its the returned text of the program executing.

Don't worry, it's nothing mechanically related. She will just be asked to do
simple tasks, such as call someone, send a message on IRC, etc. Thanks for
this, pal.

One thing. When I insert the <system> and </system> tag, ALICE just seems to
say it as if it were text. What's wrong here?
