Hi --
I have more information on this error. I think I've traced it down to
whether the command is actually killing the current element in the
first place.
I had a clipboard management function working in Quicksilver and got
rid of that in order to test this better. I got an error on refiling,
but it was a different error this time. One about the element being
empty, IIRC.
Am I misunderstanding refile? Do I have to do more than have the
cursor on the line to be moved?
And is there a way I can further backtrace this so that it might be
useful for troubleshooting by others? Or screencast the error so you
can see I am not making this up? I am enamored of orgmode now, but
I'm on the verge of abandoning it because I have a notes file from
which I cannot conveniently refile tasks and it's becoming unmanageable.
