Thank you, Darlan — that is more or less what I thought. But here's the thing (which betrays by rather shallow understanding of org-mode at this point):  I know how to create such a table. But what I don't know is how to get the prompt to enter a new row. The notes function for tasks that are marked done don't navigate you to a previously defined block of text, if I'm not mistaken. So, there would be a lot of hand-navigation to make each entry. Perhaps Im misunderstanding something, but I am seeking the ease of use of the notes prompt, but with each new entry being not a separate note, but a row in that table. Thoughts?
