So as I understand it,there are two ways to achieve what I am trying to do: either through diary, or through capture. I am not sure which I should choose, though. Since it seems my initial message was somehow unclear, let me try to explain what I am trying to achieve again. I have only one agenda file, ~/gtd/agenda.org. It consists of only headings with active timestamps. When I want to schedule a dinner with John, what I currently do is: 1. C-c a a 2. Look for a date 3. (say I find that April 1st isalright) 4. quit the agenda view 5. Visit the buffer corresponding to ~/gtd/agenda.org 6. Go to the end of that buffer with M-> 7. Add a heading like * Dinner with John 8. Use C-c . to add the date, 1 apr I am fine with steps 1 to 3 but would like to do steps 4 to 8 in a much more efficient way, without having to re-enter the date, but with the same result,i.e. the heading being added atthe endo of ~/gtd/agenda.org Do I make more sense this time? Thanks again for you help! Sh=C3=A9rab.
