I'll take a look at the rss script although I don't think it should have made a difference.

Edit...

It's the

$response = WaitForSpeech(30,"yes","no")

which is causing the problems. "yes" or "no" both halt the script with

Quote:

Error on line 24: Invalid expression construction: "yes".

@DJ this is the project. It looks like the WaitForSpeech command is the problem.

A quick test script of

$answer = WaitForSpeech(30,"yes", "no")
print("$answer")

shows the same result.

In fact, any possible phrases I tested show the same error. I will assume it's a problem with the command unless corrected.

Rich, You are so helpful to everyone. Thank You. I am still wondering why it worked with older version? What changes do I have to to do for the new version? Steve S

I just edited my last post with more info for @DJ. Hopefully it's a simple fix in ARC.

So far, and I haven't spent too long on it but long enough to get a pretty good idea of the problem, I would say it needs an ARC update but we shall wait for DJ to confirm it.
