However, where to store the followup note is difficult to determine - how about inserting it directly after the CLOSED time stamp? This may be not be perfect because it will be before any other information in the entry, but I find it even more difficult to have it at the end of a possibly very long subtree of reference data. - Carsten -- Carsten Dominik Sterrenkundig Instituut "Anton Pannekoek" Universiteit van Amsterdam Kruislaan 403 NL-1098SJ Amsterdam phone: +31 20 525 7477
