[RWP] step by step help

Lol. even though that manual is pretty big, after looking threw it, I must apologize, it really is quite vague. I think we all need to get together and write something. Although it does kind of brush the basics a bit, if you read in to it, you may find what you need. but with the reaaccess scripts installed, f12 is a big help. Just peck around on the key bored after that, and you will find a few things. Remember to try the modifier keys with all the letters. and try things like alt + shift and what not too. try control by it self and then control + shift with all the letters. and shift by its self with the letters do different things. And the function keys as well. remember that f12 is a toggle so if you hit that, you will be leaving help mode and will have to hit it again. That should keep you busy for a while while we get these 1000000 monkeys to recreate Shakespeare. lol.

>> I was thinking something in audio.  I speak better than I write, and rather than try to explain what I could allow people to hear for themselves would be much easier.  The concept of scrubbing is easy to explain to anyone fimiliar with the analog editing techniques, but to someone who has no clue about any of that, you'd have to write a paragraph explaining something that could be shown in 10 seconds.

What this program needs is a good, blind-friendly manual.  Reading about how ecstasy is just a few quick, convenient mouse clicks, and a couple of swipey drags away gets on my nerves, as usual.

Of course, most of the sections would be punctuated by a special note ***not accessible***.

I am sure that the person who wrote that manual took lots of time that more than likely could have been better spent on a vacation in the tripics or something with hot chicks bringing him cold drinks. The fact that you want answers to all these questions from us and they can just as eaaily be found in this manual has got to be an insult to the poor guy. Give that a try first then, if you can't find your answers there, I am sure that one of us can help you. Did you even look at the manual first? Just wondering...
