I now fixed the Play-Test Applet's GAME-code generation such that it does use the correct way for specifying a move as imitation in the 'legdefs' table it generates.

One caveat: the trick the betza.txt include file uses for determining whether moves are legal during highlighting is not reliable when imitators are present. Because it determines the pinned pieces and attacked squares before the move. And the move will usually change what the imitator is immitating. So it is recommended to use highlighting of all pseudo-legal moves, by specifying

set pseudo 1;

at the end of the Pre-Game section.
