 Pro Deo can't use tablebases yet. So NO, under Arena you can't have it use
tablebases.
 But under a GUI that takes control of the tablebases instead of the engines,
while having on board the tablebase position of course, Pro Deo will take
advantage of tablebases. What i mean is that under Chessbase GUI (Fritz/
Shredder/ Junior/ Hiarcs/ Chess Tiger) if a match reaches a tablebase position
then the Chessbase GUI takes over from there and plays the rest of the game as
long the  tablebase position is available. That means Pro Deo can take advantage
from tablebases when it is on Chessbase GUI. It will not probe tablebases in its
search but as long as the position occur it will use it, with the help of
Chessbase GUI of course...........
