If anyone decides to look at this, could you also please verify that navigate doesn't allow you to advance to a specific move in a new game?  I've tried a few things but I think if I advance the game index I can't also specify the action index.  So I'm doing it in separate calls which naturally flashes the initial position for a moment.

BTW, the reason I mentioned gnubg.nextturn is to suggest a possible solution.  If navigate is unable to display dice and "next roll" is too hard to change, you might gut the nextturn logic and simply have it show the dice.  It's not that klugy since "next roll" first displays the dice and only shows the move after a second call.

My last post about Python described the features that I plan to automate, basically providing a stream of decisions that have been marked with comments.  There's a lot to be done to do that well, so the first module I'll create handles only saved positions.  After that I'll handle saved matches/sessions.

In anticipation of that second script, there's one thing that would make it better - the ability to display the dice after gnubg.navigate is used.  Currently you need to navigate to either the previous or following action and issue a "next (or previous) rolled" command.  But this causes the intermediate position to momentarily display and so is a bit distracting.  Ideally the navigate command should show the dice roll or there would be some secondary command that would display them.  The "next|previous roll" command is a logical choice since "roll" is not synonymous with "rolled" and typically splits a turn into two parts - with and without the dice displayed.  But it doesn't help in this case.  Once I navigate to a position, I can find no way to display the dice.  I even tried "gnubg.nextturn ()" but that seems to do nothing at all now.  I can use "next marked" initially but the idea is to only display actions that contain a comment, so that results in uncommented actions being briefly shown. 

I doubt if anyone is interested in maintaining Python calls but this might be a simple change and the benefit may be substantial since it will provide a more professional appearance to the display of saved matches.
