Sorry I'm obviously missing something as I don't quite get what point is being made in the last 3 posts. Although judging by what has been said I'd like to make a few points: I came up with this idea myself (mainly after trying to think of ideas: something not too serious and different to anything else as far as I was aware; and also in ICT at school I was showing some mates how those characters could be controlled [as I had programmed one before so knew it could be done] at
http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/dev/code/TryMSAgent.asp and that reminded me about them). I've programmed the/an MS Agent before (though a web page using Javascript, although the last time I did was 28/04/2005 according to the last modified date on the html file). Yes I did use the code to load the character in Jscript from the Tips thread (which I found after searching the forums to see if an MS Agent had been put in a script before), but after all isn't that what it is for (to give Tips etc).
