I am told by my friend SteveB that I have to be more serious and on topic.

The variation board allows you to play through lines suggested by up to 3 engines you may have loaded. The point at which you open the variation board determines the lines you can play through. Clicking the appropriate one of the 3 buttons (that relate to the engines) refreshes/updates the lines to what that engine is currently thinking of.

No it's not possible in the variation board however it is possible in the main interface.

Download Arena 1.1 and RTFM.

:P

I'm serious....
