Tom,

Thanks very much for checking it.  It does pick up the title.tex file
and I don't get a log file but the testAbs.tex file (see below) shows
that the abstract title is missing and the abstract text is entered as
the \title{}.

If I start emacs -q then execute this block, it seems to report that
orgmode is a mixture of version 7.7 and 7.8.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
(add-to-list 'load-path
	     "~/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/lisp")
(require 'org-install)
(org-version)
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: Org-mode version 7.7 (release_7.8.03.566.gf8efc)

Does that look normal?  Exporting as before then gives the file below.

Myles
