You have two methods :

"krafty <personality>" typed in the plain text file called crafty.rc

e.g, (do not type quotes) :


"

krafty morphy
exit

"

place this file in the crafty directory (where the execuable is located)

btw,

"

krafty ranper 23 42
exit

"

will select a GM personality at random


second method is to use wb2uci.exe as go "between" between Arena wcrafty.exe and
then have have wb2uci.eng point to a series of text files named after each
personality.  Then when you use the Arena confgure engine menu item , each
personality will appear as a pull down item in the menu and then you select it
with the Arena GUI.

I will try to put together a better and more detailed instructions with
snapshots in the next release.
