=== Overview === 

Mind.Forth -- the software of an artificial robot Mind written 
in the Forth programming language -- became a genuine artificial 
intelligence as a result of a sudden AI breakthrough on 7 June 2006. 
However, Mind.Forth did not become AI-Complete until 22 January 2008. 
The breakthrough -- clearly visible in Tutorial mode -- made Mind.Forth 
able to think logically and not output spurious associations of gibberish. 
Is it for real? Is it genuine artificial intelligence? You be the judge. You be 
the early adopter. On some clunky old MS-DOS machine, get Mind.Forth
up and running ( potentially forever) for all to see and judge. Go into the source 
code, if you like, and carve your name into the on-screen messages for users.
Show it to some high-potential, low-achiever who claims to be ultra-intelligent
but never does anything ultra-productive. Then hold onto your hat, and
welcome to the Technological Singularity.

with a DeBug section on how to diagnose and correct problems 
and malfunctions in the AI software. 

===== Common problems ===== 

===== Getting help ===== 

For immediate help in dealing with the Forth programming language, 
you may enter the #forth channel of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and 
ask a question of the Forth experts in residence. Visit 
http://www.mibbit.com and click on "Start chatting now >>" 
to launch the screen with the option of "Browse IRC Networks." 
Type in "Forth language" and click the "Find channels" button. 
You should see #forth@irc.freenode.net among the first two or 
three pages of results of the search. You join the #forth 
channel simply by clicking on #forth@irc.freenode.net and 
you are immediately presented with a place to type your 
chat messages at the bottom of the screen. Introduce 
yourself, but play it safe by not giving out any personal 
details. You may type in /nick yournewnick as a command 
to change from your entry nickname to your favorite nickname. 
When you are done chatting about Forth, you may enter the 
/quit command to leave the #forth IRC channel. 

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth on Usenet 
is where you may ask or answer questions about MindForth 
and check back for responses as time goes by -- not so 
immediately as in the #forth Internet Relay Chat channel. 

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/win32forth/messages is 
a discussion group devoted specifically to the Win32Forth 
dialect in which MindForth is programmed and in which 
http://aimind-i.com is programmed. 

==== Shutdown ==== 

At any time, the human user may press the [Esc(ape)] key to 
stop the Mind.Forth software, which will show some instructions 
about what to do next in the Forth window. Entering "bye" in the 
Forth window shuts down the Forth programming environment, 
leaving the MS-DOS window. Entering "EXIT" in MS-DOS shuts down 
MS-DOS. To shut down the personal computer (PC), clicking first on
the "Start" button and then on the "Shut Down..." option should
gracefully allow the computer to be turned off when all is ready.
