[pandorabots-general] Javascript or Arrays in AIML

[Anne Kootstra]

I think you should take a closer look at stack.aiml. To me it seems it does
do what you want. Just take out:

<srai>RANDOM TOPIC</srai>

And the RANDOM TOPIC category and it should do what you aim to do.

However, you are right that this will always be a fixed length stack.
Variable stacks is something that AIML is equipped with.

As ever,
