Greetings.  I use gnuchess 5.05 to do analysing, and I always
start by typing in the commands post, force, level and hashsize:
   bash-2.05b$ gnuchess
   GNU Chess 5.05

   Transposition table:  Entries=1K Size=40K
   Pawn hash table: Entries=0K Size=28K
   White (1) : post
   White (1) : force
   White (1) : level 1 100 6000
   Time Control: 1 moves in 6000.00 secs
   Fischer increment of 6000 seconds
   White (1) : hashsize 8192

This gets boring. There is no "man gnuchess" or "info gnuchess",
and no mention of an .rc startup file in "strings `which gnuchess`".
Hoping it might take commands from stdin, I tried a litte shell script
   (cat <<EOT ; cat) | gnuchess
   post
   force
   level 1 100 6000
   hashsize 8192
   EOT
   
That fails to give the "White (1) :" prompts, but seems to be
working ok otherwise. But then it hangs after the first ctrl-C :-(

Apart from "expect", is there a way of starting up gnuchess
automatically with the same sequence of commands ?
