I stopped using the diary a few years ago and have totally avoided the 'i' functions in the agenda since it creates diary entries that just get lost for me. Instead I've trained by fingers to make remember tasks instead but I have to create the dates manually in the remember task. It would be a lot nicer if this could create a task with a diary sexp type entry for the details. I don't believe this functionality exists today. Regards, Bernt
