  To get Rebel to easily analyze and show the results for multiple moves (one by
one, not all at one time), I use the Rebel ANALYSIS EXCLUDE feature.  I set the
game in INIFINITE ANALYSIS mode (continuous analysis) let it think for a while
as I watch the iterative best lines on the screen.  After a while, I make the
suggested best move--by moving the piece on the board while in ANALYSIS EXCLUDE
mode--and Rebel adds that move to the EXCLUDED MOVES list; then Rebel begins
analysing the next best move, starting with Ply 1.
  You can do this up to about 6 times, sequentially reviewing the successively
best moves while excluding all the previously discovered better moves.  In this
manner, you can discover the top 1-N moves (viewing the iterative scores and
iteratively suggested best lines of play for each successively better move)
until the value for the N+1 best choice drops below your threshold of interest.
  Using this Rebel feature, you can easily discover if there are several moves
of roughly equal value in the position.
