[WT-support] Macro $CORRECT

[marcelo at alternex.com.br]

Hi Ian, Franta
That´s how I do it here as well. Sometimes I get the call field messed up or
realize, during transmission that it didn´t sound  as it should.  During
the rest of the exchange I quickly fix the call and hit F5. This way the other side
knows I got it right after all and does not waste time correcting the call I got right
after all.
This happens maybe just a few times during the contest, and I really got used to do
it manually.
