Nice work ood,
wonderfully distraught monk.
I notice the type [ask what's wrong] is not working and I reckon its because of the single quote in there..
As for the 'task called ... ' I re-discovered that only 'command called ...' are executed from afar.. so a 'task called wish' will not be treated as a command unless its inside you!
So I will work on cow.pl and make it ignore tasks as possible command replacements.
As for tasks deleting mysteriously.. One of the tasks I made self-destructed once complete.. maybe this is somehow getting triggered at the wrong time.. more research needed there.
When you are ready you should publish something in the daily cow about this poor monk.
