No, I regret that I was not thinking that far ahead.  But now that you mention
it, . . .

I guess it's just a matter of deciding what kinds of information to transfer.
But first the desired information must be obtained or produced [by the program.]
 Before that, someone or something must decide what sorts of information are to
be obtained/produced by the software.

Someone may have to "put on his or her thinking cap" for that one.

: )

Are you sure that doing what you suggest would be sufficient for the program to
be correctly called "intelligent"?

Many humans prefer to believe that computers can never "think" intelligently.
Some may feel that it is taboo to try to make a computer that can match humans.
