[was there supposed to be a 2) etc?] 1) It would have helped if you had said that to begin with: I was left wondering what "that" documentation was. And the comparison with the micro-emacs doc was entirely impenetrable to me. Can you provide a pointer to that doc? Daniel Lawrence's site seems to be gone. 2) For git, Pieter provided some appropriate links. I'll take the opportunity to recommend Scott Chacon's book (http://progit.org/book). 3) For future reference, here are pointers to a couple of useful documents on how to ask questions and how to submit bug reports: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html The first is linked from the main orgmode page (http://orgmode.org); the second is linked from the "How to contribute" page on Worg (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html). I recommend both of these to everybody. Nick
