Well the agenda does since it has a "org-agenda-files" variable (see
code snip below) - can org-mode not use something similar if not the
same? Similar to (setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d") any functions should
assume, if they are not fully qualified, that all files are below a

org-files-home-directory

or similar, I think. hard coding the full path in each
org-remember-template is not very tidy I find and I certainly avoid it
whenever I can.
