Thank you for your interest in BabyChess!  To specify an engine, click on "New 
game" to open the game editor, then in the "Engine" menu click "Choose 
engine", then click on "an XBoard engine and enter the filename in the entry 
box.  If the engine is not in the search path ($PATH), you'll have to enter 
the whole absolute path, then enter a name for that engine and click on 
"Save".  The engine will be saved as a new engine in the list.  Then in the 
play window the new engine should appear as one of the options.  

The current system is not easy to use at all.  I'll try to program a new "Add 
engine" command in the menu and in the "play window" "new game" dialog.

Anyway, I hope that helps.
