Hopefully this question isn't too stupid, but I'm up past my bedtime
and I've been looking at a lotta docs and not finding an answer to

* specific question: if I'm running a (GNU) emacs 22 (like the current
  stock ubuntu

http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/emacs

  ), do I need to install remember.el separately? (I'm thinking
  "yes.") If so, 

** which version? (I'm thinking "2.0")

** where should I have read which remember I need to install?
   (presuming I do)

* general question: is there an "elisp which"? E.g. code that will

** (useful) given the name of an elisp package (e.g. "remember"),
   return a boolean: 't if that package has been loaded, 'nil if not.
   OTTOMH all I got--which doesn't give version, and is way lame--is
   to C-h a <some part of the package name/>: if that returns nothing
   ... no such interactive commands are defined. Lame, but better than
   nothing.

** (better) code that will map the name of an elisp package into the
   location of its "main" file? or all files in the package?

  Just asking because, if I knew that, I probably wouldn't need to be
  asking the specific question: I could see if a remember*.el had
  already been loaded by my init.el without my setting anything up.

TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>

To my knowledge, remember is included in Emacs 23, not Emacs 22.

See http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/RememberMode :

,----[ History ]
| 2008-04-16: Remember 2.0 released. Remember is now included with Emacs
| as of Emacs 23.

Presumably.

What says Org's manual in Emacs 22 about remember?  I guess it
says to install it separately?  Or maybe you are using a newer
version of Org?  If the current manual (Org 6.28trans) should 
be clearer about this let me know.

(featurep 'remember)

HTH,

Hey ;)

Have a look at http://orgmode.org/manual/Remember.html#Remember or
in your local org documentation s.v. 9. Remember.

If anything remains unclear, do not hesitate to ask again ;).

Any suggestions, where you would have expected this information?

Maybe a sentence like:
 "Orgmodes functionality is vastly improved by the remember package,
 which is not included in emacs 22. The installation of Remember Mode is
 covered in <Link> Chapter 9 </Link>."
could be added to 1.2 or 1.3 of the orgmanual ...

On the other hand, imho its not that hard to find ...

I have slightly modified the paragraph describing remember.el in
org.texi like this:

,----
| The Remember package by John Wiegley lets you store quick notes with
| little interruption of your work flow.  It is an excellent way to add
| new notes and tasks to Org files.  The remember.el package is part of
| Emacs 23, not Emacs 22.  See http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/RememberMode
| for more information.
| 
| Org significantly expands the possibilities of Remember: You may define
| templates for different note types, and associate target files and
| headlines with specific templates.  It also allows you to select the
| location where a note should be stored interactively, on the fly.
`----

Hope it's clearer.
