Chris, anybody that buys programs with as much info as yours is not the
type that  winces at chess information. Of course as Bob pointed out, if
you use a constant window, no need to put that info on the screen, just
in the manual would be fine, but if the alpha beta window info changes
the info could be useful to the end user.
