Q: How do I create my own chatbot object using your "Pandorabot Client vx.x.x" script?
A: Assuming you have not created your own Pandorabot chatbot yet, the directions are as follows:
    a. Go to www.pandorabots.com to create an account and create your own bot.  It is not that
        difficult and is rather fast.  Take note of your Pandorabot's id number.
    b. Design and create your own object. Rez the object.
    c. Create a notecard named : BOTID_CARD (or copy the one from your inventory).  On the first line, place your bot's id ONLY.
    d. Place a copy of the "Pandorabot Client vx.x.x" script into your rez'd object. Reset the script.
        Your object should now be up and running.

===
Q: Will I receive free updates and support?
A: Yes you will receive free updates and support for the current version you purchased. For example,
    if you purchased v1.3.1, you will receive all new versions for v1.x.x. 
    When v2.0.0 is created, this will need to be purchased, v2.0.0 etc. will not be provided for free.
===
Q: I don't understand the BOTID_CARD, what is that for?
A: As of today, BOTID_CARD holds two main settings from you so the Pandorabot Client Script may be customized for you.
    line 1: This is your Pandorabot id number. This is what avatars in SL will be talking to. It is the background AIML.
    line 2: Holds a YES or NO. Put YES if you would like the script to display http_response status errors when they occur.
                Place a NO if you don't. If no value is found, NO is the default value. This is also known as Debug mode.
                These messages are IM'd to the owner of the object, so no one else will see them.
===
Q: What is Debug Mode?
A: Debug mode is to help you understand what your Pandorabot is doing via AIML.  It will help you train you Pandorabot.
    The setting to enable/disable Debug Mode is a YES or NO in the BOTID_CARD's second line.
    In debug mode the following will be IM'd to the owner:
                    a) http_response status errors.
                    b) http_response body value; This is the AIML sent back from your Pandorabot.
===
Q: What is the 'Main' script I see in the Generic Pandorabot Chatbot?
A: The Main script is NOT needed for any chatbot.
   The Main script found in the Generic Pandorabot Chatbot does two things and you should be able to modify the script.
    1) Sets the text above the chatbot via llSetText
    2) When a touch occurs, it passes a greeting string message via llSay.

===

Q: How do I train my Pandorabot to remember avatar names?
A: Pandorbot Client Script auto detects the closest avatar before chating begins and send it to the Pandorabot as the following sentence:
"My name is [detected avatar name]"
when you check your Pandorabot logs, when me see this transaction take place but the detected avatar in world does not.

So you need to train your pandorabot to handle "my name is *"
1) Sign into the Pandorabot website and click on your Pandorabot, then click on the Train link
2) In the textbox, type the sentence "MY NAME IS *" then click "Ask" button.
3) When the results comeback, Click Advanced Alter Response button
4) In the pattern textbox, make sure "MY NAME IS *" (without the quotations) looks like
MY NAME IS *
5) In the template textbox place the following:
Hello !
6) Click Submit button
7) Then click on your Pandorabot's name link
8) Click republish or your training will not be live.
