Latest changes in Praat.

6.2.05 (5 January 2022)

- Calling Praat from the command line: the switch `--send` sends a script to a different already running GUI instance of Praat; this is more flexible than using sendpraat, because `--send` will start a new instance of Praat if Praat is not yet running.

- Scripting: support for `infile`, `outfile` and `folder` fields in forms.
- Calling Praat from the command line: the switch `--open` now adds files to an already running instance of Praat; this was already the case on Windows, but it now works in the same way on the Mac and on Linux.
- Scripting on Mac: multiline text fields in forms have scroll bars and behave like other fields.

6.2.03 (3 December 2021)
