From what I understand, Selective Search=0 is the same thing as using the "Solve
for Mate" feature. I'm not sure so I'll ask Johan.

Right-click on the Think Lines window and one of the items in the popup menu
will be "Copy Contents". This will put the entire window's contents into the
clipboard (and you may have to cut some lines out if the window contains
analysis for more than one move).
