OK, but will this create the IDs or not? Today, I had wanted to enable the IDs in order to provide a scenario where they don't work. For normal use, I *don't* want the IDs because I found they don't persist through Emacs sessions. "create-if-interactive" -- I'm assuming C-c l is interactive -- "-and-no-custom-id" -- these would be on headlines where there is no existing ID. So it *would* create an ID, right? Not what I ultimately want. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks
