In your particular example the AIML code below may not work very well,
however it's the technique I wanted to show you. This way it's possible to
create "synonym" AIML categories. These are categories who's only purpose is
to link to the content of another/different category. 

Hope this helps.

As ever

Hi!

When I write the tags for my bot, do I need to write the Patterns in the
English sentence format everytime or can I do parsing on the sentence using
these tags using AIML and proceed?

E.g:

Human: What is your name?
Human: What is your Birthdate?

so does it mean that I should have a pattern "What is your name?", "What is
your Birthdate?"  seperately?
or 
can I parse "What is" and then check for "name","Birthdate"?

What is the difficulty level when parsing is done, instead of using Pattern
Matching that AIML does?

Please clearify....

Regards,
Deepti
