program more than one set

this what I mean.

Not sure I understand, both categories are the same, and neither is using a set.

In general if you want to persist something in AIML use the <self> tag.

<think><self>star.meaning.instantiation =+ #animal</self></think>

i mean two different maps.

I want to be able to add to two different maps at the same time with the same sentence.

would this allow a memory to exist as long as I am logged in and interacting with the chatbot.
