The activemag command tells Palview4 to generate diagrams within the magazine that are active. What this means is that visitors to your page will be able to move the pieces around on any of the diagrams to examine different variations from the given position. (This is called kibitzing.) This feature is very much like the movingpcs option for game replay. But the activemag command also enables a new move recorder as well that allows kibitz moves to be taken back by using the left arrow cursor keypad or the number 4 (left arrow) in the numeric keypad. You can also click on any empty square in any diagram (to select that board) and then click the number 7 (Home) key in the numeric keypad to restore the original position. The / key in the numeric keypad flips the board. You can also simply right-click with your mouse over any diagram to take back the last move played as well as double-click to restore the original board position. This makes for hands free movement of the board's pieces.

Please not that only the IE browser will actually allow you to pick up the pieces and move them around on the board. The Netscape 6 browser allows you to click on a piece to move and then click on a square to move it to. The magazine's script will then move the piece.
