I have the following program (derived from sample #1) which is a
greetbot. It runs as a console application in dos or windows. Im trying
to get it to accept commands at the console so i can make the bot move
and talk at my command. how would i do that?

the program:
#include <aw.h> //i added the library and header to my program
directories. unless you have done
//that, use "aw.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

I have just finished a new version of my bot. it will be posted this evening.
you can type teleport(no caps) at the command line and it will teleport your
bot to the locaion you specify. Once AW browser 270 comes out it will no loger
greet everybody out loud, but whisper a greeting to them. that prevents
flooding. further updates are expected.

you know that error 204 means that it cant find the old object, right?
my guess is that the error is in the following code:

I know its not that because i can log chat and events with that setup of oftream
in exactly the same way. the thing is that the program ignores ALL the commands
i added which are the following commands, while it doesnt ignore _kbhit()<added

but the function returns the info itself. i reread it a few times and it seems
like you can tell the function to return before it is done so you can continue
the rest of the program. the data is then recieved later.

Roland, can you please slowly explain how to use callbacks and where to use
them?
