[RWP] Reapers Without Peepers Manual

Fri Jun 21 05:35:31 EDT 2013

Also, the online Cockos Wikis are very good, explaining clearly; limited 
to a single issue, not covering theory or complexity; like the big user 
guide.
Of course you need to translate mouse moves into shortcut moves; but the 
standard reaper shortcuts are often provided.
Google the words cockos wiki; then your problem in a couple of words, 
and there can be a wiki on exactly that issue.
