[RWP] Creating functions?

[Indigo]

Thanks, Scott.
It was just satisfying that I remembered correctly that there is a 
method without drag/drop.
I recommend the tutorial reaper Unleashed for anybody who wants to 
really dig into Reaper, modify and streamline its menus, customize it 
into whatever they want.
It's a download for a few bucks, listed somewhere in Resources on the 
Reaper download page.
