[RWP] found an HSC set an VST plugin for reaper

[Indigo]

In the plug's screen that I encounter in Reaper, in effects routing 
page, immediately after I've loaded a soft synth, I can't identify any 
smaller windows within the plug's interface itself.
Maybe there is a way in Wineyes, but I can't think of it this second.
The active window is automatically chosen, and that's what I'm working with.

If there are smaller windows within the entire program screen that are 
changing, I'm going to need to become more aware of them.
  I hope we can eventually  all benifit from coordinates discovered by 
any of us; to learn how to mod HSC sets for Sonar to use in Reaper, or 
to use HSC coordinates in AHK.
