[RWP] Extending reaper with Reascript Macros

[Jim Snowbarger]

Well, there you go.  Once you can bind a script to a hot key, your home 
free.  All  you need to do to string actions together is to have multiple 
lines, each containing this api call, with the appropriate action number.

It's worth mentioning, in case anybody else other than me doesn't already 
know, to get the action numbers to show, you don't have to scroll right, as 
described.  Just right click on the action, down arrow to show action ID'S, 
and press enter.

Time to learn to write a simple REAScript, and bind it to a hot key.
