[ct-user] Back to orig freq...how?

[Bob Naumann - N5NJ]

Apparently the function of Alt-F4 has indeed changed in the latest versions
to be a toggle between run frequency  and the last spot selected via either
Ctrl-> or Alt->.

I'm still using older versions in multi-op situations and have not seen the
new behavior.
