  • Quitting chats etc.

    Hello everybody!

    This is a bit embarassing, but I have been playing with the Guru at vertrauen and got trapped in the chat. As in, I didn't know how to quit.

    The user documentation says to use / to get a prompt and lists a set of commands, but those don't seem to work at all. It is very weird.

    How are you supposed to quit a chat session?

    looking at my data/guru.log, it appears that "BYE", "EXIT", and/or "/QUIT" will leave the guru chat... they may be case sensitive... i've not actually tested it in a while, though... this is only what i see in my log from other victims^H^H^H^H^Hsitors ;)

    Thanks, I just tried it. BYE did it.

    Consider this a hint that the documentation could be updated or that the BYE command could be hinted at when entering the chat. :-)

    Happy BBSing!

    Just talk to The Guru like you would any other person and he should respond accordingly. Don't prejudge him because he's artificial.

    What? Guru isn't real? What about all of the excellent advice I got from Guru over the decades? ;- /
