[Rwp] creating custom action chains

[Chris Belle]

Hi jamie?

I figured it out.

I am able to stack actions now.

I was trying to do it with the virtual mouse, but doing it with the
numpad insert-enter
seems to do the trick.

No laptop here, I am mostly testing reaper on an i5 tower with no 
monitor on it.
It's a refurb business class dell, some intel graphics card in it, don't 
know which exact model,
but automation is actually working pretty well,
I'm trying to get used to what all the modes do, latch and touch and write,
automation acts differently in the fx dialogues than with the pan and 
volume,
and I still don't know why some actions work with automation while 
others don't with default actions assignments like the shift and control 
arrow keys,
but we are gaining on it,
stacking those actions really helps, and it means I can make up 
intervals I want, like half a db, or even 3 db,
I just wish I had some feedback of where the curve was incase I didn't 
remember how far I went down or up.
