Hi Jon,

I'm not too happy about having the load commands file moved to general
open file dialog. It is difficult to find and it does something
fundamentally different from loading a game. The file menu isn't
exactly overcrowded.

You've definitely got a valid point.

It strikes me that loading a command file is very similar to loading a settings file, maybe a "load settings file" or similar option on the settings menu might work?

I think loading a command file is a low priority action, from a new user point of view they would have to:
        1. start using gnubg
        2. think of something they want to automate
3. create a command file that does some action (or possibly learn about some pre-written file)
        4. load this command file

I think by the time a user gets to 4 they know their way around gnubg. Having it on the file menu means one of the first things a user might think is "what is a command file?". And of course the answer is a little used (but admittedly handy) feature.
