[WT-support] Script to change automatically the background Color in Run/SP

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Did you enable RUN/S&P mode (type RUNSP [Enter] in the logging window)?
 Did you assign it to the Ctrl-Tab key as described by GW3NJW?

What happens when you press Ctrl-Tab?  Make sure the Clock window is
visible (Windows | Clock) so that you can see what is happening

73,
