[RWP] Extending reaper with Reascript Macros

[Jim Snowbarger]

I think the first step on this is to install Python on your machine, and 
learn to write the simplest possible Python script.  That's about where I am 
right now.  Your python scripts can be as complicated as you can imagine, 
but they dont' have to be.  You won't need to be a Python expert to string 
actions together.  It looks like that will be quite simple.  About how to 
tell Reaper what hot key to connect to the script,  Haven't gotten there 
yet.  But, this link Indigo provided is pretty instructive.  So, it's all 
there.

time,  all it takes is time.  Anybody got enough of it?
