Perhaps other lines could be displayed > too depending on the settings. The modeline should show the path of your agenda item when you move around in the agenda. ie. "file.org/Client XYZ/Call Bob about paperwork" You can also use E in the agenda to add a few more lines of context from your tasks to the agenda. Maybe that will help? Regards, Bernt
