Why is it that if org-agenda-files is a list the list should have

I guess this is a small historical contingency. =A0We might indeed allow relative filenames when `org-agenda-files' is a list.

I agree and would welcome a patch for this.

Changing this behavior is going= to be a significant one as far as the current users are concerned. I start= ed working towards a patch for this and now I am thinking how not to break = existing functionality. Or should we force everyone to be relative to org-d= irectory?

Here is the simple patch which straight away expands th= e file names with org-directory.

* org.el:=A0

=A0=A0+ org-expand-file-list ()

=A0=A0 =A0 Expand the = list of agenda files in "org-agenda-files" with "org-directo= ry" as base directory.

=A0=A0+ org-agenda-files ()

=A0=A0 =A0 Call org-expand= -file-list() if "org-agenda-files" is a list.

Thanks and Regards
