I removed thespaces, since I couldn't find any use of it. Unlike spaces, which returned the keys to the $space array, it returned the $space array itself. In place of it, I made $space a readable and writable system variable.
I removed the answered operator and made $answered a readable and writable system variable. This variable gets set by ask and askpromote when they are answered. It is useful for writing code that stops asking the same question again and again after it has already been answered. I am going to update the White_Pawn and Black_Pawn functions to use it, so that I don't have to resort to the kludge of inserting "P-dest" or "p-dest" when a Pawn doesn't promote.
I just documented the baseurl operator. It returns the baseurl of the the Game Courier script.
I added and just documented the capturedpieces operator. This calculates and returns an associative array of the currently captured pieces. This replaces the use of $capturedpieces as a readable system variable with the system operator. It may still be overwritten with setsystem though, and it may also be accessed as a variable with a dollar sign before it. But this will return a value only if it has already been set, since Game Courier does not set the $capturedpieces variable until it has run through all the moves in a game.
