Quoting quotes everything including symbols, so you either do not quote or use backquote: (setq org-agenda-files (list lb/gtd-file lb/refile-file)) (setq org-agenda-files `(,lb/gtd-file ,lb/refile-file)) In this case, I'd prefer the first form, but the second form is often useful - see (info "(elisp)Backquote") -- Nick
