You may always issue a "show board XXXXXXXX" command, which will show
any position -- I use that for the "show" button in hint.

The only problem it doesn't show cube and dice... but judging from the
code in CommandShowBoard, it should be fairly easy to make an extended
version that shows the board XXXX with the current dice, cube, etc.

I might just do that...
