Thank BK,
Actually I got this to work last night:
HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i000000
This means to substitude %1 with the "meg number" from CB's engine parameter
dialog box. So if you set the parameter to 64 Megs, the line will become:
HashCommand=cm_parm tts=64000000
The nice thing is that it gets effective immediately when you click OK and you
don't have to switch to another engine and switch back. You can verify this in
the engine pane and notice your infinite analysis will change as to change your
CB's meg number. And the analysis would be the same when you hard code it to
64000000 and when you soft code it and change the meg number to 64. Note that
if you hard code it, you would have to do the engine switch trick when you edit
the file.
