Hi Travis,

Since you are starting out, I would recommend to start with Emacs 23.2
if it is possible. There have been too many enhancements to make the
effort definitely worth it.

If you are using Emacs 23, the above line is optional.

This line is not required as the last line in the custom-set-variable
block does the same function. If you intend to put all your agenda files
in the same directory (e.g. ~/org/) maybe you should consider using this
setting instead:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; other settings
 '(org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org"))))

> (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)"
> "WAITING(w@/!)" "|" "DONE(d)") (sequence "|" "CANCELED(c@/!)")))
> (setq org-log-done 'time)

I would recommend you use the "customize-variable" interface to
customise your org-mode setup.

This block does not close properly.

I am attaching a modified setup file. You could try customising
starting from that. Put it in your home and rename it to .emacs.

To start customising, after loading org just do:

M-x customize-variable 

M above stands for meta. I don't know how the meta keys are mapped on a
Mac, but I think pressing ESC and x separately should do the trick.
This will prompt you for a variable to customise. The rest of the
interface is self explanatory.

You can use a similar interface to customise faces too.

M-x customize-face

Good luck.
