Funny: for the update of the MIDI implementation doc I've just
uploaded, I tested the Learn function yesterday as well. Basically
found the same thing as you: only 1 message seems ever accepted.

Well, basically the Record facility in my own library is very modular,
more or less "pluggable" in the way you're describing: whenever a MIDI
message arrives, any window can simply pick up this message by adding
its own event handler. This is how recorded MIDI messages in BC
Manager end up in several different windows "simultaneously", e.g. the
"meters" window, the input message window, the BCL input message window...
So from that point of view, it would be a piece of cake to add a
recording handler to the element dialog box. I just try to be careful
not to overload the program with duplicate or esoteric functionality
that only confuses people. I'll see what I can do.

Mark.
