[RWP] Jim, your scripts for Reaper

[indigo]

Jim, I just look at reaper 4.21's media Browser with Jaws 13 demo; and 
the shortcut ctrl+alt+X; then shift+tab took me immediately to Reaper Media.
I routed to PC and one of the .wav files began playingwith no other move 
required.
I arrowed up and down at the numPad; and each file interrupted the 
previous one and played.
Same at the mid arrow keys, arrowing up down jumped to each file' and 
each played the instant it was arrowed to.
If I up arrowed to the very top at the numpad I got file info, size, and 
date recorded.
I didn't find the way to read file names, though, I'll keep probing it 
in Jaws 13.
Thanks for turning me onto a hitherto unsuspected way to do something.
