.H 1 "Recording and playing back sessions"

You can record and play back complete sessions. Select `state' and
`session' from the menu data base or use the `Actions' pull down
menu. You cannot record or play back X-windows operations such as
resizing a window. You also cannot record scrolling through windows
or changing the scaling on plots. However every menu data base command,
or pull down menu command no matter how it is entered can be recorded.

Recording is not completely reliable because of timing considerations.
In particular if you enter a command that prompts for inputs and those
prompts originate from the DSP process you must not do anything else
until the prompt appears. Action files are mainly useful for regression
test validation and for customizing the initial appearance of
ObjectProDSP. They are not a reliable way to back up your work. Use
state files for that purpose.

There are examples of recorded sessions in the directory
`$OPD_ROOT/validate'.
