[Rwp] I have installed Reaper, let the dumb questions begin!

[Matej Golian]

Hi John, I'm pretty new to Reaper myself and therefore I'm afraid that
I can't give you much advanced advice, but you can press alt+f to open
the file menu. Pressing F10 works as well. Than you can also try the
following:
alt+e - open the edit menu
alt+v - open the view menu
alt+i - open the insert menu
alt+o - open the options menu
alt+a - open the actions menu
alt+h - open the help menu
I don't know whether there are any podcasts made specifically for
Osara, but as far as I know the keymap Gianluca provided (the one you
are using) is very similar to the one that comes with ReaAccess by
default and so I suspect that much that has been done for ReaAccess
will work with Osara as well (if not all of it).
Hope that helped.
