Yes, John, you are surely right. From the beginning I use the Prelude Emacs distribution (http://batsov.com/prelude/) that comes with a bunch of preinstalled packages, so I don’t know yet what is original Emacs/Org and what is optional. So much to learn, so little time. Even for a text editing professional like me (publishing manager, foreign language typesetter, book producer, copy editor) Emacs is like an almost undiscovered parallel universe. I try boldly to go where just a few men have gone before … So thank you all, group, for being patient with an Emacs novice like me.
