Add this to your .emacs file (adjust the path): (add-to-list 'load-path "C:org-mode/lisp/") This way, the sources of the downloaded Org-mode will be found before the ones that come with emacs. > 3.

Yes. You'd need to adjust this line: ;; Customize: (setq my/org-lisp-directory "~/.emacs.d/org/lisp") > 4.

No need for parameters, ones the path is adjusted (item 3.). > 5. What option should I choose for org-compile-sources in the > function? (I don't know what it means.) Just change this line (setq my/org-compile-sources t) to this: (setq my/org-compile-sources nil) if you do not want to compile the sources. > 6. Finally, how do I use this function?
