Hi Dave,

That would be perfect, but imagine the disk pollution. But now that you made me
think about it what looks acceptable is something like this:

[Position Learner = on]                 * off|on
[Position Learner file = teach_me.lrn]  * --> new <--

or

[Personality = whoops.eng]              * just kidding
[Position Learner = on]                 * off|on
[Position Learner file = on]            * off|on

In this case when [Position Learner file = on] is set learned data will be
stored in the file whoops.lrn

I will think about it.

My best,

Ed
