To answer your questions:

1) Set up the position, set both players to be human, and open the Mentor Lines
window (CTRL+M). This will analyze the position forever, or until you change the
position or close the window.

2) Assuming you're talking about getting that kind of output in CM9000,
right-click on the Mentor Lines window and choose "Copy Contents". This will
copy the entire contents of the window to the Windows Clipboard, so you can
paste it into any message here or a text document. Just be sure to change your
notation to Algebraic (instead of the default Figurine Algebraic), so that the
output can be read with a font other than the Chessmaster font.
