Is there a way for org to remove these entries when marked as done or cancelled? While on the subject, is there any concept of an "alarm" in org? Or is this just a scheduled item? It would be nice of there was a way to trigger specific functions based on the tags -e.g play wave file for a reminder of a task of a certain type. Is there something like this anyone can recommend or point me to? I would like to configure org as my alarm clock too! -- important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday. ~Dennis Gabor, Innovations: Scientific, Technological and Social, 1970
