Thanks, Dan. This fits my preferences for loading org exactly. One
small hitch, however. No errors were produced during startup, but
trying to open the agenda (C-a a) produces the following error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-babel-result-hide-spec)
It's probably unrelated, but since your solution is the only change
I've made I'm not sure what's triggering it.
