Hello Experts,
I am using orgmode 7.7 in Emacs 23.3.
I usually have a dedicated window (frame) for Org Agenda view. I found it
would be very convient to be able to add item directly from the Agenda
buffer, however, I don't see that command in the manual. (A closer one is
the refill, which moves the entry to another category)
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Xin

With point on a day in the agenda, try "i d", and see the value of
org-agenda-diary-file. Here's the snippet from the info doc.
Stephen
`i (`org-agenda-diary-entry')'
Insert a new entry into the diary, using the date at the cursor
and (for block entries) the date at the mark. This will add to
the Emacs diary file(3), in a way similar to the `i' command in
the calendar. The diary file will pop up in another window, where
you can add the entry.
If you configure `org-agenda-diary-file' to point to an Org-mode
file, Org will create entries (in org-mode syntax) in that file
instead. Most entries will be stored in a date-based outline tree
that will later make it easy to archive appointments from previous
months/years. The tree will be built under an entry with a
`DATE_TREE' property, or else with years as top-level entries.
Emacs will prompt you for the entry text--if you specify it, the
entry will be created in `org-agenda-diary-file' without further
interaction. If you directly press <RET> at the prompt without
typing text, the target file will be shown in another window for
you to finish the entry there. See also the `k r' command.

It may work fine to you to just use Capture from the Agenda to add a new outline
item to a capture file. You invoke capture from the Agenda, then just refresh
the agenda after creating the new item. Russell Adam's video demonstrates this
use at roughly 14:00 to 19:00:
