I am using Windows XP and not using Cygwin.

My org mode version is 6.31a which is binding with my Emacs 23.

I don't know why the word "touch" in my configuration. And I also don't
know if I use it under Linux.

I check my org mode configuration file, but I can't find any word like
"touch" in my org-sites.el file.

So, what's the function of this "touch" program?

What should I do now? Upgrade the org mode to latest version?

Thanks
