You probably want the game editor (listed under MORE).

And here's an article on how to use it.

Great suggestions, both. Thank you for your help. I will use the game editor for now. Later it seems that Bookup program, having watched the video, would be better for storing information, making notes and cross-referencing.
Scid vs. PC might also be useful.

And some more tips on using Scid vs. PC can be found here:

I had started a similar thread at http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/using-the-two-boards-technique-with-chess-softwares2
The recomendation which worked for me was to use SCID vs PC.
Even Shredder has this variation board feauture.

WinBoard/XBoard supports variation trees in a simple way. (See another thread, about the simple Chess UI.) Just 'open' variations by clicking them in the display of comments to the current move, and hit the Revert or Annotate menu items to 'close' them and return to the previous main line. While they are open you can step through them in the usual way (e.g. with mouse wheel).
Of course you can also start your own variations that were not yet in the PGN, by performing moves on the board with the Shift key pressed, and add those to the PGN.
Can anyone please recommend a simple PC program that I can use to easily follow along to study my book games? I did not see one on Chess.com.
I would like it to be free move and maybe able to do variations but then get back to the current game. Features added for the purpose of following a book game would be welcome.
If there is one I overlooked here please let me know. If there is not one... I suggest this as an added feature. It would be very helpful.
