[RWP] Some questions

Thu Jun 27 15:14:10 EDT 2013

Hey, Scott; I'll have to try your shift+space workAround; if  NVDA+enter 
fails, or vice versa.
Is that in Jaws?
I understand using shift+space, because space causes the track to run; 
even in the effects chain view.
I love our little collection of workArounds we're accumulating!
