[RWP] Another fix for No Presets

[indigo]

I just can't get page down to work, Jim.
I was in Reaper 2 minutes ago with Jaws 13 demo, I inserted an empty 
track, pressed f, loaded ReaComp, and got No Presets right away.
I pressed insert+dash; what is that, route Jaws to PC? fclicked on No 
Presets at the number pad, and there in that combo box was the culprit, 
choice 1, Reset To Factory Defaults, and choice 2, No Presets.
If we could find a way for it to always choose choice 1, Reset To 
Factory Defaults, we wouldn't need to do any fancy footwork to get the 
presets.
Since these are factory effects, apparently they need to be Reset to 
Factory Defaults before they're ready to use.
Instead of our workarounds, we should understand why they are not 
getting what they need from the screenreaders.
I'm trying to think if there's a setting in Wineyes to make it select 
the first of those choices, instead of the second.


I hit enter on Reset to Factory Defaults and, as before, all the ReaComp 
presets are at the tab key.
Every push of the tab key has an edit box at the arrow keys for a 
selection with the arrows, or a number to be typed in, etcetera.
Looks like total access to me.
I don't keep any third party plugs on this old machine, but I'll go and 
download a free plug somewhere, and see if it displays its parameters 
instantly, without voodoo work.
I'll go back once more with Jaws 13 and learn if page down does anything 
while in the No Presets box.
If not it must be partly a hardware issue, different on different 
computers, since you and I are both on XP.
