[Rwp] Intro and importing a keymap

[Scott Chesworth]

Hi Brian,

To get to the actions dialog, you can hit F4 (which should already be
assigned in the default keymap). Failing that, you can reach it by
going to the Actions menu by hitting Alt+A, then choosing the default
option which should be "Show action list...".

Once in the action list, Shift+Tab twice will get you to a button
entitled "Import/export...". Hitting space on that will pop up a menu,
and when you select the "Import" option, you'll be presented with a
standard Windows open dialog that'll let you locate that keymap file
you've downloaded.

I've made a note to get that actions dialog terminology changed in the
OSARA documentation as it's a bit misleading.

FWIW, a likely reason that ReaAccess didn't work for you is that the
version of Reaper has to match the version of Windows for it to
install, IE if you're running Windows 8.1 64-bit, you'd need to be
running Reaper X64 to match. It's an annoying bug in the installer
that never got resolved when the developer disappeared in a puff of
smoke. In any case, OSARA is the future, so you're better off starting
with that from day one.
