[Rwp] Basic track selection question

[onlineeagle]

Update: I have found a SWS extension action that unselects all tracks, items and envelope points. I have assigned this to a hotkey. I am now able to affect the tracks I wish to affect. However, the ReaConsole select commands don't seem to be working, even though when I move the mouse I can hear NVDA report that ReaConsole has inputted the correct command. Also the other ReaConsole commands are all working. Very odd.

Then, if I try to split an item, it only splits the item on track 2, even though I’m focused on track one. I have scoured the actions list to find out how to select a track. There seems to be nothing. Apparently, pressing shift up or down arrow will select that track, leaving other tracks selected. But I just want to select track one. Not to worry, I think, I have ReaConsole. I press alt and c and type in S1, with the s as an upper case S. This is the instruction to select only track one. However, when I split an item, or press delete, it  deletes the content both tracks two, or splits the item on track two.
