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. -- Michael On Jun 26,2009, at 1:14 AM, Carsten Dominik wrote: > I am unable to reproduce this problem. > > - Carsten > > On Jun 25, 2009, at 7:42 PM, Michael Gilbert wrote: > >>>> I am a noob - drawn to the alien world of Emacs (from my familiar >>>> Mac environment) by OrgMode.
