Thanks to everyone for the information. Ok, I put the following lines into
a file called matches01.txt:

---
set cache 1048576
set cube use on

set analysis movefilter 1  0  4 12 0.32
set analysis movefilter 2  0  4 12 0.32
set analysis movefilter 2  1  -1 0 0
set analysis movefilter 3  0  4 12 0.32
set analysis movefilter 3  1  -1 0 0
set analysis movefilter 3  2  0 4 0.08
set analysis movefilter 4  0  4 12 0.32
set analysis movefilter 4  1  -1 0 0
set analysis movefilter 4  2  0 4 0.08
set analysis movefilter 4  3  -1 0 0

set analysis cubedecision eval plies 4
set analysis chequerplay eval plies 4

set analysis luckanalysis plies 2
set analysis luckanalysis prune on

import mat 'G:\NewMatches\scoper10.mat'
analyze match
save match 'G:\NewMatches\Analyzed\scoper10.sgf'
relational add match
---

I then executed the command *gnubg-cli.exe -c matches01.txt* and I received
an 'Invalid argument' error. (I'm on Windows 10) I removed the quotes from
around the paths and the error went away. (The quotes were a requirement 15
years ago)  With respect to the "set analysis" parameters, are you saying
to place them into a separate file and then issue a "load commands
<parameters file>" from within the script?

BTW, what do I issue to set the threads to half the cores?
