Is this simply the way it works or is my setup > incorrect? It's a pain to have to kill all those buffers each time. This is the way that org-mode works. If you'd like to release/kill your org-mode buffers, simply type "x" in the agenda. Might I ask why you want to kill the org buffers once they have been opened? It is a relatively expensive operation to open and parse all the org files the first time the agenda is generated. However, once the org files (and all the properties added by org-mode) are loaded into memory, agenda creation is much quicker. Best, Matt
