• FIX: Was not storing and restoring the speech levels and Braille filters before and after executing a script.

• FIX: CopyTextToClipboard, SetScriptIterationCount, TextStringToKeyPreses, ClearBraille, StartTimer and StopTimer weren't setting return codes.

• FIX: Made all Dialog. table members lowercase.
• FIX: The script list was adding new entries for scripts that match multiple processes in the wrong order. This was causing the script lookup function to fail and not return the correct script.
• FIX: Possible Braille leak in the scripting engine.
• FIX: Removed IsWindowVisible and ShowWindow functions from the System table. These are now in windows_functions.lua
• FIX: Moved Screenreader.GetFocusLocation to the System table.
