The rules

There is only one rule:

Don't press the RETURN key until you have typed your complete sentence (or phrase), because the therapist will make a response each time you press the RETURN key. When you get to the end of a line, just keep typing -- the computer will wrap your words to the next line.

Press the RETURN key only when you are completely finished with that portion of the conversation.

When you get bored or frustrated, click the right-pointing hand to exit from the conversational mode. Then I'll tell you a little about how the program works, and about its limitations.
