I got it to work only after I got stuck a couple of times first, and finally realized it was a tough job and it simply can't be done right in a couple of hours. Got a command. Wait, AM I pondering? If yes, do I have to stop the search? Oops, it pondered to mate, it is not searching. Different case. But uhm, do I have to retract that pondermove? Depends on the command. Mindboggling. WB is great of course and a *immense* success. Best free app ever and I hope they keep maitaning the source. But UCI shows that some things can and should be done really more simple and elegant.
