With that, at that, after that--different?

0 Many dictionaries I have consulted tell me that these three phrases have the same meaing, "after that." But I got the impression somewhere that they are actually different. 02br
02br
00"WITH that" means "after saying that;" "AT that" means "after hearing that;" while "AFTER that" means "after doing that." 02br
02br
00Could anyone back me up on this? Or please dispel my confusion. 02br
00Thanks in advance. 0-
