Do you know Shredder? It has two groups of 4 buttons each at the toolbar:
"load,save,previous,next game" for PGN handling ("...position" respectivley for
EPD). Another example: In ChessBase programs, when a database was opened, the
next game appears just by pressing F10 - no dialogue box needed, no switching to
a database screen needed.

My latest CM version is 6000; I don't use it often. Whenever I want to open a
text based chess file, I need several minutes experimenting in the dialogue box
with both "file format" and "game type" settings, until CM finally decides to
open the file AND understand the content. Has this been improved with CM7K? If
not... urgent...

Thanks,
