I pinged Michael who started this thread, I = hope we'll get an update > on his perspective.=20 I missed the ++ usage in this context completely. Yes, this gets me = close to what I was looking for. Ideally, something like this should be available in the org file, rather = than in the agenda. The reason being is that it is a common project = planning task to shift all related tasks back by some set period of = time. I can see expanding the notion to take dependencies into account, = but that is not critical. I'm just looking for a way to do this routine = in the project management & planning contexts in my own work and in my = organization.... But if I shift back and forth to the agenda, then I can make this work. = I'm assuming that the 'Cc C-s' and 'C-c C-d' commands don't work on = regions or on everything under a heading? =97 Michael
