Hi,
Two questions about deadline items in the agenda.
1. The default warning period for upcoming deadlines is 14 days. There must be a variable to control this, but I'm having trouble finding it in the manual.
2. Is there a property to override the warning period for specific headlines? For example, if I have a project due on a certain date, a two-week warning makes sense. But, for paying the rent, a two-week warning means that I see the warning for half the month, which is a bit too much. I'd like to make that one 7 days.
Thanks,
hjh

you can specify the warning time directly in the time stamp. See
example in the info manual (section 8.3: deadlines and scheduling).

Perfect on both questions, thanks!
I overlooked the "-time" specifier, probably because it's in a longer paragraph with other points. Thanks for pointing me to the place where I should look closer.
