There does not seem to be a way to do this #+PROPERTY myprop don't ask and having the :PROPERTY: drawer after the #+ lines also does not seem to work: Whenever I try to use the API functions to get at the property, I am told that I am before the first headling (which I know). So, is this behavior intentional? And if yes, is there a way to work around this? All the best, Christian
