[WT-support] DVK with Microkeyer

[Andrew O'Brien]

Hold the presses, it works!

I now have Win-test AND my Microkey doing DVK.  Within Win-test I can either
use the F Keys on my keyboard to execute the audio files OR I can use the
"RTTY Radio" window in Wintest and click on F1 etc .  Slick.  I am using the
setting within Wintest that allows you to choose the microkeyer DVK .
