[RWP] Some questions

You know, Scott, I just learned how to use NVDA to enable inputs and 
outputs in Reaper's control Surfaces.
I got sighted help with doing it previously;  because it's nearly 
impossible to do with Wineyes, mouse emulator at the numPad; depends on 
locating Wineyes mouse pointer exactly on tiny bit map arrows just ahead 
of the words Midi Input and Midi Output.
I had the Novation Nocturn control surface in Hui Partial mode, and I 
suspected something was wrong with the assignment of the inputs and outputs.
I tabbed to the line with Hui Partial,  1 of 1, showing.
I moved Hui Partial to focus at the numPad with NVDA+-dash key.
Then I did a move that I have found works when an ordinary click doesn't 
work; I left doubled clicked on Hui Partial; not depending on NVDA to 
create a double click, but pressing the slash key twice quickly.
I could definitely tell Hui Partial  reacted.
Then I did NVDA+numPad 7 to get a flat review, and could read Hui 
Partial settings: inputAutoMap and output Automap.
I got on the word Automap for input; then  hit NVDA+enter; and got the 
list of input ports at the arrow keys; and found that my sighted help 
had stopped arrowing down the list at Automap Midi; while the correct 
setting was AutoMap Hui; at the bottom of the list.
You know the list of possible ports in Reaper's preferences/control 
surfaces is exactly like the same list in Reaper's Midi Devices.
I selectedAutomap Hui, but couldn't back out to reconfigure the output 
port at that moment, so hit OK; then repeated the procedure to 
reconfigure the out put  port.
So, again, NVDA does what was nearly impossible with the Wineyes numPad 
mouse emulator.
