Other suggestions and my own thoughts on them: Usher - might be too unknown a word Agent - Too technical? Director - Sounds too much in charge Guide - Sounds like a pile of paper instead of an avatar-like function Tourguide - Sounds cool enough to make it work. Doesn't have the association with discipline and the law that 'traffic cop' has. How do you call someone who works in the information kiosk in a theme park that you go to to ask for directions or for information about available attractions? That's the sort of word I'm thinking about. Yvette Hoitink Heritas, Enschede, the Netherlands E-mail: y.p.hoitink@heritas.nl WWW: http://www.heritas.nl
