[RWP] automation

[Derek Lane]

Write, latch and touch record with the keyboard.
I can get volume and pan to record, but nothing else.  Also, the instant 
I press stop, the volume/pan resets to the project settings.  Short of 
playing the project to its end, I know of no other way to make something 
move and stay.
I could record a demo if anyone would like.
