[alicebot-general] Newline/Carriage Return Issue with AIML on ProgramD 4.6

[lipska]

Hi Noel,

Thanks very much for the reply. I have tried it on the java console
interface and on the web interface with the same results. Just a note the
AIML file I attached does not cause this to happen but if its edited and a
carriage return is placed under TESTTWO ( as below) it occurs.
