Aol IM bot

[JoeCDaMan]

Here's the scenario:

Eventually I will be writing an Instant Messaging application to be used internally on our company intranet. To enhance the features I will be adding a static SN on the server side to act like a IM bot and accept commands and run other apps accordingly.

What I want to do now is write an aol IM bot in the mean time and get that working before I integrate it with the server. Is there a good place to look? I googled for it and found some stuff in Python, but I don't want to learn python just to do this. I know, C, C++, C#, java, and VB preferably I would like to write this app in C# since that is what I will be writing the IM service for work.

Can someone guide me to a good place to start and gather information?

Thanks in advance.

I can say that Python is very easy. Garbage collection, minimal syntax, dynamically typed, etc.

Should be no problem if you know all of those languages, it's easier than Java or C++ to use.
