Reaper selection question

[kL]

Checking out Reaper for the first time; very interesting. The routing is very, very complete. But I have a basic problem:
I can't make a selectin in the timeline.
I've tried everything; I can make one by double clicking an event, but otherwise all I can get is one -- sometimes -- that starts at the beginning.
What am I missing?

1) Left-click in the timeline at one end.
2) Shift-left-click at the other end.

Cheers,

Thanks. I got it; I was trying to drag in the timeline (like Vegas/Acid) on the demo project. It didn't work, but in a blank area of the track area on a new project it does.
Microtonic doesn't work -- makes noise on play. Can't figure out how to set snap. Midi edit not only not inline but without play or audio feedback?
I guess the pie just went into the oven. Cool ideas, though.

yes you can also drag in the timeline part, but not the blank part, that is used for scrolling.. sort of the opposite of vegas/acid in that respect..

Thanks. Doing great work; as I said, the routing is without peer. And the efficient way you deal with folder tracks (cycling between track/folder/last/) is absofuckinglutely amazing. But you gotta get that midi in realtime/inline/audio feedback working.
Keep it up.
cheers.
