[RWP] Update on record arm.

[Indigo]

Sorry, Kevin, didn't mean it for you; but for old bring down daddy that 
hangs out here.
I said, on another subject, expecting it not to be taken as referring to 
you.
You, like most of us are here to learn.
Okay, if you want your tracks always to be armed for recording, there's 
an option for that.
I haven't used it; so maybe look under recording in Reaper's options.
I wish I could help more, but my doggie is terribly sick; like maybe he 
was bitten in the mouth by a snake; and isn't getting better.
The vet got the diagnosis all wrong; $180 paid for the wrong treatment.
Sorry,
Indi
