Hi Indigo. Yes the menu you mention is the one I was accessing by right clicking. Now I have 3.78 installed I can just press applications on the track like you say and that menu opens. In Dimension Pro, I can't find the button you mention named program handler. Using the Jaws cursor, I only hear the title bar, and the line below, which reads a series of buttons that are accessible to the PC cursor, but none of them open the program browser list. With the help of a sighted person I've done a script for it. Like you I've found that having someone to look at the screen and tell me what is going on has helped to clear up a lot of stuff, especially to do with the FX window. I found sometimes it was on the screen, but jaws was reading the track view instead, but I think I'm on top of that now. It seems you can either close the FX window completely or have it docked on the right. This was really confusing me when I was trying to work out what was going on without someone who could see.<BR>
My big problem at the moment though is copying audio. Today I wanted to do a couple of hours of practice because I haven't done any in days while learning reaper. |I thought I knew enough to make a little drum and bass loop to use as a kind of tonal metronome, which is how I like to practice, but I spent the 2 to 3 hours just messing around with reaper trying to do stuff I thought I had already sussed out. Have to say, that was quite a big blow for Reaper. <BR> <BR>
