I'd suggest installing Eric Eve's conversation extensions. They make
this process much easier to handle.

Yep, I'm aware for those, but for these project I'm too late in the game to convert the thing to use them. Probably for the next revision though.

I got things working except for one part:


[Code]
Understand "dog/hound/mutt" as "[dog]".

After asking the man about "[dog]":
say "A fine hound, that.".
[/code]

The problem I'm having is the article "the". I can't seem to figure out how to make both "ask man about dog" and "ask man about the dog" match. I've tried matching the string "the" and cutting it in ask/tell situations, but apparently I haven't had the command right.

Any ideas for that?
