I would save the buffer and close it. Now that I am using org-mode, I made some modifications to write my notes to a file "journal.org" and bind a key combination to invoke the function. So when I am using Emacs I can quickly write notes by entering the command C-c n I use GNU Emacs 21.3.1 running on Windows XP Maybe this functionality could be added to org-mode? Here are the lines from .emacs (defun journal () (interactive) ; customise the following line for your file name (find-file "c:/homes/charles/journal.org") (end-of-buffer) (insert "\n** Topic: ") (insert-datetime-string) (insert "\n") ) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c n") 'journal) (defun insert-datetime-string () "Insert a nicely formated date time string." (interactive) (insert (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M" )) )
