title: Aiml files won't load
body: <p>I'm attempting to run a sample Chatbot script
  Pythom Script is:</p>
  <pre><code>import aiml
  import os
  
  kernel = aiml.Kernel()
  
  
  kernel.bootstrap(learnFiles = os.path.abspath(&quot;home/pi/watson/std-startup.xml&quot;), commands = &quot;load aiml b&quot;)
  kernel.saveBrain(&quot;bot_brain.brn&quot;)
  
  # kernel now ready for use
  while True:
      message = input(&quot;Enter your message to the bot: &quot;)
      if message == &quot;quit&quot;:
          exit()
      elif message == &quot;save&quot;:
          kernel.saveBrain(&quot;bot_brain.brn&quot;)
      else:
          bot_response = kernel.respond(message)
          print(bot_response)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Standard Startup is:</p>
  <pre><code>aiml version=&quot;2.0&quot;&gt;
      &lt;category&gt;
  
          &lt;!-- Pattern to match in user input --&gt;
          &lt;!-- If user enters &quot;load aiml b&quot; --&gt;
          &lt;pattern&gt;load aiml b&lt;/pattern&gt;
  
          &lt;!-- Template is the response to the pattern --&gt;
          &lt;!-- This learn an aiml file --&gt;
          &lt;template&gt;
              &lt;learn&gt;basic_chat.aiml&lt;/learn&gt;
              &lt;!-- You can add more aiml files here --&gt;
              &lt;!--&lt;learn&gt;more_aiml.aiml&lt;/learn&gt;--&gt;
          &lt;/template&gt;
          
      &lt;/category&gt;
  
  &lt;/aiml&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>When I run the script I get the following:</p>
  <p>WARNING: No match found for input: load aiml b
  and basic_chat.aiml does not load</p>
  <p>If I run this simple script</p>
  <pre><code>import aiml
  import os
  
  kernel = aiml.Kernel()
  kernel.learn(&quot;basic_chat.aiml&quot;)
  
  while True:
      message = input(&quot;Enter your message to the bot: &quot;)
      if message == &quot;quit&quot;:
          exit()
      elif message == &quot;save&quot;:
          kernel.saveBrain(&quot;bot_brain.brn&quot;)
      else:
          bot_response = kernel.respond(message)
          print(bot_response)
  </code></pre>
  <p>it works fine.
  This is okay but eventually I want to add many more aiml files to the chatbot and I think I need the startup file for this.</p>
