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.

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.
