It does, but when it reaches the end of the comand file, it exits. I
just tested loading an .sgf file, showing the statistics dialog, then
clearing the analysis and exporting the match as a .mat file:


address@hidden:/home/jes$ t /tmp/gcmd 
load mat   /tmp/1190329.sgf
sh statist mat
clear analysis mat
export mat mat /tmp/fred.mat

This ran, showed the statistics, when closed, it saved the .mat file,
then exited.
