Is there a way to execute commands after program startup?  For instance, the 
following invocation does not work because GNU Chess cannot detect 
end-of-file, so it executes the last command endlessly:

    gnuchess < cmds.txt

The file "cmds.txt" contains:

    depth 10
    book best

The only time a command script actually works is when the last command is 
"exit", which of course terminates the program.  If you want the program to 
remain engaged, you're out of luck, it would seem.
