[RWP] Extending reaper with Reascript Macros

[Indigo]

Thanks, Jim.
.Wonderful, isn't it; to find the secret words to get into Aladdin's 
Treasure Cave?
I'm sure you're long since used to it, but I feel the excitement that a 
real programmer might  feel.
I suppose; since there's no mention in the ReaScript Wiki; that no 
semicolon or other punctuation would be needed at line endings, like in 
some code systems I've seen.
Nadine said she got into the map and put in alt+C to copy item; and it 
now speaks.

Maybe you could give details on where you found the keymap, Nadine, and 
exactly what you put into the keymap?
The only occasion I think I saw the ReaAccess keymap was after 
installation of ReaAccess, before I closed the installer; so I assume 
that might be where to look for it.
I'll try to write a ReaScript, calling multiple actions, and place it in 
the keymap; and learn what happens.
I did notice some already written custom actions in the Cockos forums; 
so I guess I'll download those and look at how they're done; plus share 
them here; even if they're not a useful action; they could  provide a model.

Thanks,
Indi
