What am I doing wrong? I want to use org-mode for Bioinformatics and teach students to use it as a tool, but I cannot do it unless things work seamless on my hands Any help will be much appreciated --Rodolfo Aramayo, PhD --00248c7118d1f1f6d204bce70522 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 UGVvcGxlLDxicj48YnI+SSBhbSB0cnlpbmcgdG8gdXNlIHRoZSBwb3dlcmZ1bCBvcmctdGFibGUg ZmVhdHVyZXMgb2Ygb3JnLW1vZGUgdG8gc29sdmUgYSBzaW1wbGUgcHJvYmxlbTxicj5JIGhhdmUg aW1wb3J0ZWQgYSB0YWJsZSBmcm9tIGV4Y2VsIGluIGJvdGggY3ZzIGFuZCB0YWItZGVsaW1pdGVk IGZvcm1hdHM8YnI+YW5kIGNvbnZlcnRlZCB0aGUgcmVnaW9uIHRvIHRhYmxlPGJyPjxicj4KCnRo ZSB0YWJsZSBsb29rcyBsaWtlIHRoaXM6PGJyPiMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyM8YnI+ fCBFbnRyeSB8IEVudHJ5IG5hbWUgfCBQcm90ZWluIG5hbWVzIHwgR2VuZSBuYW1lcyB8IExlbmd0 aCB8wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg IDxicj4KCnwgUTAxMjg0IHwgMk5QRF9ORVVDUiB8IE5pdHJvbmF0ZSBtb25vb3h5Z2VuYXNlIChF QyAxLjEzLjEyLjE2KSAoMi1uaXRyb3Byb3BhbmUgZGlveHlnZW5hc2UpICgyLU5QRCkgKE5pdHJv YWxrYW5lIG94aWRhc2UpIHwgbmNkLTIgRzE3QTQuMjAwIE5DVTAzOTQ5IHwgMzc4IHzCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgIDxicj58IFAwNTE5NSB8IDNESFFfTkVVQ1IgfCBDYXRh Ym9saWMgMy1kZWh5ZHJvcXVpbmFzZSAoY0RIUWFzZSkgKEVDIDQuMi4xLjEwKSAoMy1kZWh5ZHJv cXVpbmF0ZSBkZWh5ZHJhdGFzZSkgfCBxYS0yIE5DVTA2MDIzIHwgMTczIHzCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqAgPGJyPgoKfCBRN1NEWDMgfCAzSEFPX05FVUNSIHwgMy1oeWRyb3h5 YW50aHJhbmlsYXRlIDMsNC1kaW94eWdlbmFzZSAoRUMgMS4xMy4xMS42KSAoMy1oeWRyb3h5YW50 aHJhbmlsYXRlIG94eWdlbmFzZSkgKDMtSEFPKSAoMy1oeWRyb3h5YW50aHJhbmlsaWMgYWNpZCBk aW94eWdlbmFzZSkgKEhBRCkgKEJpb3N5bnRoZXNpcyBvZiBuaWNvdGluaWMgYWNpZMKgwqDCoMKg wqAgPGJyPnByb3RlaW4gMSkgfCBibmEtMSBOQ1UwMzI4MiB8IDE4MCB8wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqAgPGJyPgoKfCBQMDcwNDYgfCAzU0hEX05F VUNSIHwgMy1kZWh5ZHJvc2hpa2ltYXRlIGRlaHlkcmF0YXNlIChESFMgZGVoeWRyYXRhc2UpIChE SFNhc2UpIChFQyA0LjIuMS4tKSB8IHFhLTQgTkNVMDYwMjQgfCAzNTkgfMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDC oMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKg wqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqDCoMKgwqAgPGJyPiMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMjIyMj IyMjIyMjIyMjIyM8YnI+CgpidXQgYXMgc29vbiBhcyBJIHRyeSB0byBhbGlnbiB0aGUgY29sdW1u cywgdGhlbiBvcmctdGFibGUgaW50cm9kdWNlcyBhIG15cmlhZCBvZiBzcGFjZXMgd2hlcmUgdGhl cmUgd2VyZSBwcmV2aW91c2x5IG5vbmU8YnI+V2h5IGlzIHRoaXMgaGFwcGVuaW5nPzxicj5XaGF0 IGFtIEkgZG9pbmcgd3Jvbmc/PGJyPjxicj5JIHdhbnQgdG8gdXNlIG9yZy1tb2RlIGZvciBCaW9p bmZvcm1hdGljcyBhbmQgdGVhY2ggc3R1ZGVudHMgdG8gdXNlIGl0IGFzIGEgdG9vbCwgYnV0IEkg Y2Fubm90IGRvIGl0IHVubGVzcyB0aGluZ3Mgd29yayBzZWFtbGVzcyBvbiBteSBoYW5kczxicj4K CsKgPGJyPkFueSBoZWxwIHdpbGwgYmUgbXVjaCBhcHByZWNpYXRlZDxicj48YnI+LS1Sb2RvbGZv IEFyYW1heW8sIFBoRDxicj4K --00248c7118d1f1f6d204bce70522--
