I have just finished some updates to this preset. These updates add new features that I added to Game Courier after I originally wrote this preset, and I do not expect that they will break any past games. First, I updated it to display the Pawn's double move when displaying legal moves. Second, I updated it to handle Pawn promotions without requiring the players to manually enter the notation for it. When a Pawn cannot promote to anything, it will not do anything except prevent it from moving to the last rank. When there is a single captured piece it can promote to, and it moves to the last rank, it will handle the promotion automatically. When there is more than one piece a Pawn may promote to, or there is only one, and it has the option of remaining a Pawn, it will ask what piece to promote the Pawn to. If the Pawn is selected, it will add "P-dest" to White's move or "p-dest" to Black's. This pseudo-promotion has no effect on the course of the game, but it serves as a flag to not ask about promotion each time it evaluates the move again during the course of the game.
