I see them, but don't know how to do it. I wish to take one of my existing games and play it differently from a certain move. I wish to do it as a non-rated game with one other Queen Alice member. I don't see the option on the controls. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Jerome.

Hi Jerome,
Well, there are some ways to do this. Lets try one of them:
If you have Winboard installed (or any program that can give you the FEN position), them you can do as follow. If not, you allways can install it from:
http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard.html
1- Copy the PGN of the game you want, from QA to the clipboard.
2- Paste the game from Clipboard to Winboard.
3- Forward the game till the position you want.
4- Copy the FEN position from Winboard to Clipboard (menu FILE, item: Copy position to Clipboard).
5- Challenge your friend at QA, and then paste the FEN position from clipboard to the field POSITION at Advanced Game Settings.
6- Click challenge buttom if all other settings are ok for you.
That is it!
Try and tell me if you could do it.
Beco.

That worked, thank you. Actually, it is really easy to create a FEN position by hand. One is printed each time you look at a game of yours, and definitions of the FEN syntax are easily found online. Be sure to review your position right away and cancel the game if you got things wrong!
