I'm trying to get the new org-capture set up. I did as the docs suggest
and imported my remember templates - then I removed the remember
elements from my .emacs except for making the C-cr keystroke point to
capture.
However, now when I M-x org-capture - I get "Invalid capture target
specification" error.
I don't understand the message - help?
Thanks!
Dave

org-capture tried to figure out where the capture should be stored
(which file, which headline etc) and failed (in the function
org-capture-set-target-location).
Probably an error in your spec for org-capture-templates. Do
C-h v org-capture-templates
and post the value you get.

Oh, interesting - it says the value is nil

So I suppose the issue here is that
org-capture-import-remember-templates didn't work for me - though
after I did it I viewed them with customize-variable and they all
seemed to be in order.
Guess I will need to recreate them.
Thanks for your help.

Did you save it after you viewed it? The import sets the variable
for the current session, but it needs to be saved in some initialization
file for future sessions. Just click on 'Save for future sessions'.
