[RWP] Adjusting Parameters of Certain Plugins

Hi Jim,
I only get the parameter list after exiting with escape; from the 
effects chain page; back to the track view.
Then I press shift+P and there is the parameters list.
To edit parameters I arrow down the parameters list and stop on a 
parameter, then tab down once for the parameter edit box, with a number 
like you said, 0.00, then tab down again for the edit slider, which 
moves from 0 to 1000.
You can press up down arrows quickly for single increments, or hold them 
down to zoom up down.
Or, press page up and down keys to move by larger chunks, usually 100.
I forgot to look if home and end jump all the way up and down, but 
that's their usual behaveor in most Reaper edit dialogs.
you need to save your edits before returning to track view or  they're lost.
I wish for hertz instead of only 0 to 1000, but that seems to be what we 
mostly get for parameter values.

I also want to apologize for my various menus I was getting from the 
track's item.
Please ignore all that.
All those item edits I was finding are on the regular item menu, reached 
by pressing the alt key.
I was somehow getting parts of that regular item menu with various 
improvised shortcuts.
Sorry about that.
At least I found a simpler way to reach item edits, in the item menu. 
Duh! smile.

Jim, when you edit either volume or pan realtime, with alt+up down 
arrows, did you try holding down either up or down arrow.
In just a second you'll scroll by large increments.
Same with alt+left right arrows, hold down left or right arrow to get 
large pan edits quickly.
