Hi Eric,

This is fitting very nicely into my workflow.  Thanks.  Here are some  
reactions after a bit more experience with the package.

It would be nice to be able to call org-bibtex-create with an option  
to fill in required and optional fields.  I typically need a few  
optional fields and so end up running org-bibtex-check with a prefix  
to get at the optional fields.  Perhaps I've missed an easier way to  
do this?

It might also be good to let the user specify the bibtex file name,  
wither on a per-export basis or as a configuration possibility.   
Bibtex file management can become an issue in a long career and I've  
found naming conventions to be a help in this task.

Thanks again for your work on org-bibtex.

All the best,
Tom

Good idea, I just pushed up a patch which adds an optional prefix
argument to `org-bibtex-create' which will result in prompting for
optional as well as required fields.

Ok, this function now prompts for a file name, with the default initial
value set to the name of the Org-mode buffer with .org replaced with
.bib.
