Thanks again, this was really helpful, and I understand the logic.
To explain what worked:
- My Emacs was simply the downloaded version of "EmacsForOSX", which
resides in the application folder.
- The path to the emacs file that opens from the Terminal turned out to be
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
- So the Terminal commands was
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
- After checking that only the 2 regular buffers were active and orgmode
not loaded, I installed the package with the package manager.
It worked well, my org-mode is now the newest version, and updating this
way was really easy.
May I suggest that the procedure that Malcolm explained so well will be
part of the explanation/wiki/manuals?
Beginners like me can become confused -- software bug, stupid user bug,
what else...
Cheers to the list,
Maria
