Thanks Mike, I didn't realize how to do this with Winboard!  Basicaly the same
as Xboard.  I wasn't paying enough attention to the menu I guess.  With Winboard
it will also allow you to advance to the next position with Shift-Page Down,
what the menu lists is Alt-Shift-Page Down for a shortcut, but usually I can do
Winboard shortcuts without using the Alt key.

If Xboard lets you use shortcuts too, you might find this less clunky.
Unfortunally Winboard isn't providing a Comet like list of positions to select
from, but it does work.  I really thought it could only do one position per
file.
