Hello Team,



Here is the newest Console.



I have fixed the general message I/O procedures (new method, Neil),

which will hopefully prevent any messages from ever getting lost again. 



I have also cleaned up the main GUI, making things a bit more obvious

and a bit less chaotic. The connection speed meter in the lower-left

corner, which is activated by the "Ping" button, now shows countable

squares (much like the signal strenght indicator on a cellphone), but if

you want more precision, simply click it and it will change shape into

the smooth one.



The "Popup on message arrival" has been changed into a "Popup window and

beep on message arrival", with the diffirence being that you get a beep,

much like the "You've got mail" fammiliar from e-mail services, when you

get a new message and the Console is minimized.



Also, hidden to you are my current attempts to construct a helper

program to help new users learn how to use the Console: EWolf. As the

devolopment goes, the program will have the capacity to read simple

databanks which will tell it how to explain what to the user. It will

also have the capacity to link up to the local copy of the Natural

Language Parser and use it when it cannot understand an incomming

message (this means that once everything is set up, you will be able to

ask EWolf a question and it will answer). On the Console's side is that,

if you choose so, it will send messages to EWolf about what are you

doing, so that the EWolf will be better at helping you (I am still

thinking of how to implent this, suggestions would be welcome on what

should trigger a suggestion to EWolf to tell the user something smart,

and keep in mind that EWolf communicates to the user trough the

Console's standard method).



Currently, EWolf is capable of doing batch jobs (you give it a command

and a Console operation in the databank and then when you type the

command, EWolf will execute the asociated Console operation) and CAN

send to a NLU parser if one is installed, but it has a minor (but very

annoying) bug that I have to take care of before I let you see what it

can do.



C'ya!
