Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey,

     I've read the manuals and I'm sure they make perfect sense to somebody who already 
knows how to do the stuff.  But for a person trying to replicate what Apple is talking 
about, it's very confusing.

     Can somebody explain how to use the learn function of Logic?

     In Pro Tools' instrument "XPand" it is really sweet/easy, you do something like hold 
down option and click on the GUI knob/fader that you want to MIDI control then it gives a 
prompt like "waiting for MIDI" and whatever midi key/mod wheel whatever you touch next 
gets assigned to that XPand function.

      The wording in the Apple manual is confusing in that I'm not sure if they are talking 
about touching a virtual button in Logic GUI or a real button on an external MIDI device.

    In the past I have had luck using the Learn function for things like record/play 
(assigning them to the top few midi piano keys).  But now I'm trying to assign some other 
things and am not having any luck.

      Thanks!
