Subject: suggest a small change in the doc for org-drill
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:47:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zjyof6wb.fsf@hillenius.net> (raw)


Being the noob that I am, it took me a few of my rare spare hours to
figure out what I was doing wrong with org-drill (sorry Paul!)

at:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-drill.html

it says

Load the file spanish.org. 

load?

m-x load-file /path/to/spanish.org will give (invalid-read-syntax "#")
and
m-x org-drill will immediately finish with 0 results.

So, that error (invalid-read-syntax...) sent me on a goose
chase. Amusing, but quite time-consuming.

It is not "load" but "find file" as in C-x f /path/to/spanish.org

Maybe that could be changed, or clearified in the docs.

But now that i got it working, I shall start anew on my French! yay
