Sorry, if this is soo obvious to all you regular emacs and org-mode users. But I am a newbie when it comes to emacs and especially org-mode, I just don't see the tree for the forrest.
I have installed the org-mac-protocol as per it's webpage at
https://github.com/claviclaws/org-mac-protocol/blob/master/org-mac-protocol.org
I am running on Snow Leopard 10.6.5 under "GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.29) of 2010-05-09 on black.local" and in the Install instructions o that page, I made it all the way down to
> and add org-mac-protocol to External packages
>
> Start emacsserver
> (server-start)
>
> Create *Remember* templates
And here is where I get "stuck", the sample;e templates don't make sense to me, and besides I already have working ones in my .emacs anyway, one for todos and one for notes.
How do these templates relate to either org-capture or org-remember? And what are the default selectors? Is it "t" for todo and "n" for notes?
I have the following org-capture templates already working for me
> (setq org-capture-templates
> '(("t" "Agenda Todo" entry
> (file+datetree "~/org/tasksnotes.org" )
> "\n\n** TODO %?\n%T\n\n%i\n%a\n\n\n"
> :empty-lines 1)
>

> (file+datetree "~/org/tasksnotes.org" )
> "\n\n** %?\n%T\n%i\n%a\n\n\n"
> :empty-lines 1)))
How or where do I now save or put the applescript? and how or where from do I call it up? What are the steps I have to do, leading up to a new todo or note being saved to the named buffers.
I have the *.scpt files in the ~/Library/Scripts/ folder (which I had to create btw)
A very simple one or two sample in a step by step format would help e greatly. maybe one for iCal for creating a todo from an iCal event and one for a note for an apple mail item?
step 1 open ical
step 2 highlight or mark event
step 3 ????
step 4 ???
step 5 switch to emacs and find new todo in .....
Thanks for any help or pointers,
Regards,

Guys,
I am still struggling with this. the main problem is making sense of the following part of instructions on the org-mac-protocol.org installation page, basically how to call on the emacs-server from one of the many org-mac-protocol supported apps.

How do the templates relate to using 'n' and 't' for notes and todos, in most other examples? What are the parts of the remember template that relates to that choice? What is the reference later oin the page meaning?

What are the 'defaults' or 'built-in' ones?
Should this actually use remember or should this now be capture instead? What would need to change to use capture?
And as a last but maybe the most central question, of mine, what do I do with the last two "AppleScript" lines in the above section where I am coming unstuck? How or where do I enter this on a Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.5?

> getItemMetadata.scpt
> #+END_EXAMPLE
Are the above installation instructions of copying the scripts to the users Library/Scripts directory still correct with Snow Leopard and it's usage of services?
Thanks for any help with taking this to a working setup. I promise that I will document my findings on worg.
