New to AIML Scripting

I am new to AIML Scripting. I do not able to figure out why the below script is not working as it intend to be. I am trying to simulate a login dialog. After the password was keyed in, the same question of asking password is repeated. The same script is working at pandxxx platform. I am using topic and the control tags to control my context.

Can you asssit?

There seems to be an issue with it not choosing the pattern * with a <that> and <topic> over the category with just the <topic>.

If you move the <that> category first it should work,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<aiml version="2.0">

<category>
 <pattern>MAINMENU</pattern>
 <template>
 <br/><button>Policies Enquiry</button> <button>Logout</button>
 </template>
</category>
