Yes it's for playing Crafty at a lower strength without Crafty moving
instantaneously - thus the "human" can study the board for a bit before the
computer move.

It's still in beta mode, I just added the option of "md 9999" which signals an
an auto adapter in the delay move function - it will use the time it normally
would as if thinking at full strength - but the search would stop at the
designated depth.  The delay time will vary automatically as the game progess -
generally decreasing as the game wears on.  I'm also thinking of adding a a user
set flag for the book - that is , if computer is in book, the player would have
the option of having the computer move instantly or on a delayed basis.

That's a good idea you have - I can see the merits.
