Open harald.rbm in notepad, or editpad and you can edit all you want.  The
string of text can be manually changed.  You could type in games whose opening
you liked and have this used as a rbm book.  BTW this is a long way of doing the
job.............

Below is a string from a rbm file..

e2e4 e7e5 g1f3 b8c6 f1b5 a7a6 b5a4 g8f6 e1g1 f8e7 f1e1 b7b5 a4b3 d7d6 c2c3 e8g8
h2h3 c8b7


As you will see from the above you can type new moves..

e2e4 e7e6 d2d4 d7d5
d2d4 d7d5
h2h4 h7h5
b2b3 b7b6
You can then save this as harald2.rbm
