I have a special heading called, for lack of a better name, "Misc" under which I put all my next actions which are not associated with any project. This all seems to work ok so far, except for one thing: I can't figure out how to add next actions under a particular project heading using remember. The problem is that I have to specify a heading for the template in org-remember-templates in the .emacs file. This is okay when I want to jot down a new project, waiting item or *generic* next action, because all these items have fixed headings, but I don't know how to make this work when I don't know the heading ahead of time (remember that next actions associated with projects live under the project heading). Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Desmond Rivet Pain is weakness leaving the body.
