- Settings->Options->Dice->random.org
  Einstellungen0>Optionen...->Würfel

  there's a drop down meny 'Random number generator'
  (Zufallszahlen-Generator)'

this offers 'random.org' => gnubg will attempt to get rolls from there
itself) and 
'file' (Datei) => gnubg will read a file you have prepared. The file
format is pretty loose - it ignores any character which isn't a digit
1..6.
For example, I just created a tiny file and had gnubg play against
itself using this file:

===============
301 ignore
7319 all of this
006 even in the middle 2
5
5
4
1
35
===============

gnubg saw the rolls as 
3 1 opening roll 
3 1 reply to opening
6 2
5 5
4 1
3 5

When it gets to here, it goes back and reuses the file from the
start. If you have a large file of digits from random.org, gnubg will
use them if you want it to.
