hi all
after reading the agenda buffer section in the manual i still cant make
sense of the bulk remote editing commands and specifically the mark vs mark
for bulk.
my use case is simple , i want to mark a bunch of entries like in dired and
execurte del/archive/change state etc
using `m` to mark i can see that the entries are marked but cant seem to
understand how to then delete/archive these marked file.
also what is M-m for if i can mark with `m`?
thx so much

"m" adds a mark to the heading under point, "M-m" toggles the mark. So
multiple "m"s will always leave the heading marked, while multiple
"M-m"s will toggle back and forth between marked and unmarked. Hit "U"
to unmark all.
Then hit "B" to get a little dispatcher asking you what to do with the
marked headings.
HTH,
Eric

No, I don't think delete is one of the options...
