Thanks for these links. I have been to the org-8.0.html page before, but I only read part of it. If I would just read through all these nice pages, then there would be no problem setting things up. But my approach to Emacs and org is rather haphazard --- I pick up those things I need and ignore all the rest. My init.el file is a sorry mess. One of these days I'll go through everything methodically. > > > Good luck!
