Hey folks,

this afternoon, I tried to read all files of a folder with N games in
xchess format. The documentation of xboard states:
...
     -lgf or -loadGameFile file
             If this option is set, xboard  reads  the  specified
             game file at startup.  If the option value ends with
             a space followed by a number N, the Nth  game  found
             in the file is loaded.
...

So I tried

> xboard -lgf <filename> 2

and failed. No problem at all with 

> xboard -lgf <filename> 

to read the first game. So anybody can help?

Thank's

	Markus
