[RWP] Migrating Project

[indigo]

Thanks, Jayson and Patrick.
Then I did it right, hadn't tried this before, just wanted to be sure.
I copied the .rpp file in Reaper Media folder, and, because I had 
tweaked presets in the synth itself, I copied the .dll file of the 
synth, to paste into the other computer's VSTPlugins folder.
Hopefully, the unintended project will come up recreated.
Thanks,
Indigo L
