First choose your preferences (it controls the formatting of what you copy, paste, etc.).  Go to Database->Preferences.  To copy or paste the game (PGN), go to the Game menu and then click Copy As or the Paste As (depending on your intent).  If you're pasting, you should first copy the PGN/FEN from another source.  To copy or paste a position, go to the Position menu and then click the appropriate submenus.  Cool  N.B. If you haven't downloaded any chess engine one free engine (and strong) is Crafty.  To take advantage of the Database, you can put your games there (Database menu); if you know of a database file then you can open it...  Just experiment on the program.

Step 1 is to get the "PGN File" from chess.com. To do that, goto the Online Chess page, open your game, open the "Moves" tab, and choose 'get PGN'. Your web browser should allow you to save the file to your computer.

 

Step 2 is to open the PGN File in chesspad. Open chesspad, choose "Database" then "Open" from the menu system, and select the PGN file you downloaded.  Now you should be looking at your game in Chesspad!

 

Step 3 - You can navigate through the game by using the BACK "<" button and the FORWARD ">" button. You can also ask your computer who it thinks is winning in any particular position by pressing the ANALYZE "A" button.
