But hearing about Org-mode got me interested, so far I like what I see. The next step is exporting from Org-mode. There was a post by Vikas Rawal, "Using Emacs, Org-mode and R for = Research Writing in Social Sciences" which looked like a simple step by = step manual. I failed at the first step: Installing starter-kit. Asking Google for help I got: The starter kit is designed to be used with GNU Emacs. Version 24 or = later is required, and the current released version (24.3) is = recommended. It will not work with Aquamacs without modification. Here are the modifications I did: * The init.el file GNUEmacs uses .emacs.d/init.el as the init file. Everything works fine with GNUEmacs. Aquamacs uses ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el and = ~/.emacs. With this information it was easy: just link ~/.emacs.d/init.el to = ~/.emacs. Now starter-kit loads * There is no place like $HOME (or rather starter-kit-dir) Starter-kit remembers the directory of the init.el file: (setq starter-kit-dir ,(file-name-directory (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name)))) Sadly this is now ~ and not ~/emacs.d. I solved this with brute force, replacing the command with (setq starter-kit-dir "/Users/axel/.emacs.d/") Now it seems to work. There is probably a more elegant way to add a /.emacs.d to the path when = the editor is Aquamacs, but I have to learn some elisp for that. Or a way to tell Aquamacs to use a different init file. Any suggestions are appreciated. Axel
