I am at much greater ease due to these two messages.  They solve several of
my befuddlements about capture.

This is exactly what I was looking for in the manual.  In fact, I think my
comment about the manual was partly a response to being unable to find this
item in the   manual, when I know I had seen reference to it somewhere.
Maybe in my request for items to be included in the manual, the docstrings
in org-capture.el would be scanned.  I missed this on my cursory search of
that file.  I will search for it myself, and work on (believe it or not)
org-help.org, that I use as a helpmate.

I have org-capture assigned to C-c, so C-u C-u C-c c goes straight to the
last stored item.  Perfect.

I THINK I understand that GOTO here refers to the prefix C-u ?  And C-u C-u
circumvents this?

This is it! What I was looking for.

I think, thought it may seem crazy, I would like to still have a way to
specify in the template that one would remain with the newly captured item
in its environment, after finalizing.   Just the same, thinking about that
it's an indirect buffer, it makes more sense how it works now...

Awe, heck, these two methods solve my problem well enough...

This is a great feature...

This is something I'd like to see an example of.

Thank you again, and again,
