Updated documentation and examples
Added information related to the new pyscript command. The old way of running Python scripts via "py run()" should be considered deprecated. The new "pyscript" command is superior in two significant ways: 1) It supports tab-completion of file system paths 2) It allows the user to pass command-line arguments to scripts
