To make life easier, I modified the way the scripts are handled in the 
CW and RTTY messages. From rev. 412, they are now called *synchronously* 
by default.

It means that if you have

AAA #SCRIPT BBB

the keyer now sends AAA, launches the script script.wts, idles and 
*waits* the script to be fully executed and returning, and once done, 
continues, and sends BBB. If for some reason, you want to revert to the 
previous behavior, you use the #@SCRIPT notation : In this later case, 
the script is called asynchronously (the keyer doesn't idle nor waits).

I also introduced a new API wtKeyer:Insert(strMessage) to insert a 
string in the CW/RTTY message when used in the synchroneous mode. The 
string is inserted right in the place where the keyer idles.

It means that PSE QSY-- #FREQS(x) ++ ? can now work easily.

Note : ONLY textual data can be inserted : It is not parsed, and thus 
_no_ variable (or script call) can be used. The +/- speed bursts are 
allowed (in CW).

Hope this helps.
