In section "2.3.1 Global and local cycling" of the manual I read: `' (`org-cycle') =5FSubtree cycling=5F: Rotate current subtree among the state= s ,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --. '-----------------------------------' The cursor must be on a headline for this to work(1). When t= he cursor is at the beginning of the buffer and the first line i= s not a headline, then actually runs global cycling (see below)(2). with the footnote being (2) see the option `org-cycle-global-at-bob'. If I use Org Mode without any customization, then, when using "When the cursor is at the beginning of the buffer and the first line is not a headline", absolutely nothing is done. Sure, this is consistent with the help page of variable org-cycle-global-at-bob which says that "When this option is nil, don't do anything special at the beginning of the buffer", together with the fact that, without any customization, org-cycle-global-at-bob is 'nil'. But I find this very confusing, at least for the beginner, who is unlikely to enquire right away about the possible values of org-cycle-global-at-bob. Or perhaps I am missing something at the English level=3F Regards, alain --=20 EOST (=C9cole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre)=20 IPG (Institut de Physique du Globe) | alain.cochard@unistra.fr 5 rue Ren=E9 Descartes [bureau 106] | Phone: +33 (0)3 68 85 50 44=20 F-67084 Strasbourg Cedex, France | Fax: +33 (0)3 68 85 01 25 =20=
