Maybe also an option to select black or white so that you could have different
pgn-files for which color the engine play.
I use this a lot here to create an engine book that would simulate my opponents
to train against before a tournament.

I found a minor bug, if selecting '/n 0' it would put the nag after the move
without a space like it would  be with a normal short comment.
2. Nf3 $1 -> 2. Nf3! -> 2. Nf3$1 instead of 2. Nf3 $1.
I replaced the file on the web.

(I will write some comment to Arena forum, when I got the time to test it as a
user, eg. played some games with it, so no need to pick on this here Frank :) )
