Three things: 1) Use the Switch Sides command until the computer is the side to move. On my machine, it starts to think immediately at that point. (View the 'Think Lines" window to see this). If not, use the "Actions:Wake Up!" menu item (CMD-\). 2) It is easiest to use the "Load Game" command with the Forsythe format option to read in the board position from an EPD file containing only the position you want. Note that, since CM6000 only reads the first EPD field, you will need to check the Side To Move and Castling Rights options in the subsequent dialog box to make sure they are correct. 3) I sent you email on this in much more detail.
