It does not have exactly this feature, but as it is able to import PGN files
(including a FEN header), one can import a set of tactical tests into his Palm
and use them in Chess Tiger.
It's not as convenient, but I don't want people to believe that Chess Tiger for
Palm is a closed system. You can import/export games and position from/to your
PC or Mac.
