always ready to talk to you. Read the rest of this 
Readme for important information on using Melvin.


-Instructions-

Melvin is very easy to talk to. We incorporated new AI
methods, to make sure he can understand what your 
saying. The main thing to remember, is just talk to him
like a normal human being. Also, make sure your spelling
is correct. This is very important. 

As mentioned earlier, he also asks you questions. Reply
to them with a simple yes or no. There are some 
questions where you might have to say good or bad also.


-Options-

You will notice under the Options menu there are two new 
features. There is a game, and a print transcript 
option. 

The game is rock, paper, scissors. Just click on the 
button of your choice, and the game will begin. You will
see in the Melvin window whether you won or not. What
is unique about this, is that Melvin has no idea how to
play RPS. He learns by playing with you for some time.
This is a great step forward in AI game making!

The other option is print transcript. This feature will
print out an entire transcript of your chat with Melvin.


-Final Comments-

We hope that you enjoy using Melvin 4.0! If you know of
a neat feature that could be brought into a future 
version of Melvin, please let us know. Also report any
bugs that you find, so that these may be fixed in 
updates. Thanks! :)
