Need help with Fritz 6

I want to use Fritz 6 to analyze games that I input myself, and set up positions manually to play against the engine (for endgame training, for instance). For the moment, it seems I can only play complete games against the engine?

Any help most appreciated.

Here's a couple of reviews of Fritz 6, but these reviews don't answer your question.

I'm sure this is possible to do in Fritz 6 somehow.  Alas, I no longer have a copy of that old program.  (And I don't wish to look for it and download it.  I COULD find my old Fritz 8 CD and attempt to reinstall that program, since the method in 8 is probably the same as in 6, but I don't wish to do that either.)

Note that you MIGHT have to set up the position in a different program (WinBoard, for example) and then copy the FEN from that program and paste it into Fritz 6.

Have you considered upgrading?  I'm pretty sure Fritz 6 doesn't support outside UCI engines.  That feature came about later.  The newer versions all support any UCI engine you choose, (Houdini, Stockfish, Rybka, Critter, etc.) in addition to a host of other new features.

Here's the Fritz 6 manual in italian, Dutch, Spanish, French, and Sweden:

There are any number of free programs that can do those things trivially, too, for the record.  I know that's not what you asked.
