* - Added new command "Drawpic <x> <y> <width> <height> <form> <align> <filename>". The Drawipic function draws any pictures from BMP, JPG, PNG files.

* If <width> and <height> parameters =0 - the picture will be drawn in its original size. If <width> and <height> parameters are not zero - the picture will be scaled.

* - Added new command "Drawrect <x> <y> <width> <height> <color> <form> <align>". The Drawrect function draws rectangle and fills it using the current <color>.
