This would seem to be a > very natural thing to be able to do, especially for deadlines. The prefix is used to remove the timestamps. To add a time I just enter the time when you get the SCHEDULED or DEADLINE date prompt. eg. Date+time [2009-04-07]: mon 7pm Lots of formats are supported. Entering the time at the prompt works for me. ,----[ Example org file entering '7pm' and 'fri 11:30-13:30' ] | * One | DEADLINE: <2009-04-07 Tue 19:00> | * TODO Something | SCHEDULED: <2009-04-10 Fri 11:30-13:30> `---- -Bernt
