Hmmm. I added this AIML entry:

```nohighlight

<category>
<pattern>What is AWK?</pattern>
<template>
AWK is a pattern scanning and processing language. AWK conforms to the definition of the
 language in the POSIX 1003.2 Command Language And Utilities Standard. This version in t
urn is based on the description in The AWK Programming Language, by Aho, Kernighan, an
d Weinberger, with the additional features found in the System V Release 4 version of UNIX
  AWK. GAWK provides more recent Bell Laboratories AWK extensions, and a number of GNU-s
pecific extensions.

More more information please search the forums with keyword "AWK".

</template>
</category>

```

Why does it not work when I ask, "What is AWK?"

A lot of people spell HMMM with three mmm's.That is interesting:  
said added this AIML entry\<category\>\<pattern\>What is AWK.  
When is \<pattern\>\<template\>AWK not a pattern scanning and processing language?  
The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about \<pattern\>\<template\>AWK. But I did not get that.  
What does "this" refer to?Tell me about your likes and dislikes?  
You want more?I think \<template\>\<category\>Why does it not work when he or she ask What is a lot of things.
