Body: <p>I looked at the "Description of the universal chess interface (UCI)" dated April  2006, and did not find a command or option that seemed to address how a GUI might enable MultiPV (I assume that PV stands for Position Value).  How does a GUI display MultiPV?</p>
  
  <p>Background:  I hope there is a simple UCI command that enables MultiPV, so that I can issue the command on my BabasChess GUI.</p>
