:     Hello again,
: 
: Could somebody please explain to me how the 'force' command works? From
: experimenting it seems that 'force' alone will (sometimes?) enable me to
: enter one move for white and black. Typing 'force 1' (or just about any
: number) will allow me to enter any number of moves. What is the proper way
: to end this? The answer is *not* 'both', because when I type that, the
: computer will move white allowing black no moves at all! Usually white is
: quick to QxK (!!) and after that white plays (!!!) all sorts of fun things
: :-) An example is below my sig. Surely this is a bug. (This is on ULTRIX,
: btw.)
: 

The force command is use for toggling between *input* mode and normal
mode.  To use it together with the both command, do this.

i.   type force (no arguments needed) 
ii.  input all the moves.
iii. type force (to toggle off input mode)
iv.  type both.

Hope this clear things up.
