In GnuChess 3.1, how does one attain a new queen (pawn promotion).  I have
tried various combinations, such as a7a8, a8=Q (assuming that a pawn was
indeed on that square!).  I also tried "hint", and GnuChess said to try
a7a8.  Still, nothing works.  Any ideas?

Also, what does the "+", "-", and "&" mean when using the "post" command?

If anyone can point me where these things are documented, that would help,
and anser other questions, too.

Thanks in advance!
