Fergus, Can you look at something for me?  I'm very confused.  I created the preset but I can't move any pieces.

/play/pbm/play.php?game%3DOdyssey%26settings%3Dalfaerie

This preset has no code at all.  When I try to move a peice, I get:

"MOVE: P h4-h5 is not a valid expression, because P is not a recognized piece, coordinate, command, or subroutine."

Which is strange because P is certainly a piece.  Seems to give the error with any piece.  This piece set does have some two-letter pieces, but plenty of sets have that without issue.

Something else that is strange, that I'm guessing is unrelated, whenever you go to edit this preset, the Set is not selected in the drop-down.  Actually, the drop-down isn't populated with values at all.  You need to change set group and change it back to All to get the set drop-down to populate.  Then you need to pick the set again (in this case, Alfaerie for Odyssey.  It occured to me that it could be something I did wrong updating the sets.php, but I don't think so.  I looked carefully and I've done this several times now without issue.
