So this is your opportunity to learn! This might be a bit too complicated to learn on, but I would encourage you (and everybody else too) to learn both. My favorite quote in this respect was somebody's post on this list, who was caught completely by surprise at having learnt enough lisp to do useful things, and he wasn't even trying :-) I wish I had kept a reference to that mail: if anybody (perhaps the author) recognizes it and can find a reference, please let me know! I'll also mention that I'm pretty sure that neither John Hendy nor Tom Dye knew much (anything?) about emacs lisp before org-mode entangled them[fn:1] - and look at them now! Footnotes: [fn:1] That's a little known feature of org-mode: in addition to exporting documents and tangling programs, it also entangles people. Instead of a unicorn, the logo should be an octopus :-) Nick
