[RWP] Effects Presets

[indigo]

Great, Jim!
This one definitely goes into the ReaAccess Wiki.
I'll also try some of those moves in NVDA and Wineyes.
There are more ways of getting into places in Reaper than a beach has 
grains of sand.

There are actually factory presets in here, but you can't tell it.  If you add a preset of your own, then it now shows up, along with the rest of the factory presets.  But, if you close reaper, or delete the effect, or any number of other things, it reverts back to the condition where the presets don't show up.

NVDA users can just poke around in the object model, because if you access the object that contains the phrase, no presets, just tab too it, then press insert+NumPadMinus to focus the NVDA object there, , you can then press insert+downArrow to enter that object, then insert+rightArrow to move to a button that says, open.
