I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was looking for habit tracking in the wrong place. It shows up after the command C-a a a, not C-a a. All I had to do to enable org mode was put (require 'org-habit) in my .emacs. I didn't need to add it to the modules list. I didn't need to alter my properties for the entry. The only way I know to test whether org-habit is working is to look for a frequency bar on the schedule of your agenda generated by C-a a a. In order for this to show up, you have to have a habit that's scheduled for today. The bar just looks like colored background text on the rest of the line after the todo item. It will show your history with *'s and !'s. It uses the colors grey, purple, green, yellow and red. I will reread the manual and learn more about using the module. Thanks for the help! JB I'm using Org-mode 7.01h with the latest Emacs snapshot in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.

It is a nonsense sentence that disables Google ads from displaying next to my emails by triggering sensitive keywords. I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without a messy bloodbath.
