A couple of questions -- I use remember with org as a means for
obtaining rich hot lists.

I just found out about org remember templates, but am running
into a couple of issues:


I first set 
(setq org-remember-templates
           '(
             (?w
             "* %?           %U \n   %a"
             "~/org/web .org")))
as per the docs, but ended up with a remember buffer that
contained "~/.org/web.org"
I am guessing that the order of strings in that list has changed?

I swapped them and my template for the remember buffer takes
effect, but I still need to specify the file where the notes
should go.

Also, the ?w appears to have no effect.

finally how do I get the contents of the region when the above is
called to become the description of the link?

I tried [[%i][%a]] in the template but that doesn't work -- since
%a appears to insert the whole link, brackets and all.

Finally, I would like the note to be pasted into the file without
having to go through the org-goto dialog --- I find the prompt
for that dialog confusing in general --- 

 Thanks, 
 --Raman
