It would be nice to be able to load them only when needed, but it's not
a big deal.

See Review.pgn. At moves 4 and 5 I make a move as good as the engine's,
but only the first move is placed in the file. I'd like to see the
entire variation the engine calculated instead.

At move 6 I make a bad move, but only the first move is placed as a
variation. The rest of the engine calculation is placed as a comment.
I'd like to see the entire calculation placed as a variation.

Let's see if we can duplicate this. Take any game with variations. Now
in the PGN window turn ON the option for Short (3-line) Header. Try
Strip:Variations. I get the message "Error:unable to strip this game".

Now turn OFF the option for Short (3-line) Header. Try Strip:Variations.
The variations are stripped.

It would also be nice if there was an undo function.
