I am not sure if this is possible. We would need a very careful definition under what circumstances you'd like this definition to take charge. For example: - when turning on the agenda, between midnight and 6am, the startup date could still be the previous day. - when using "." in the agenda, we could go to the previous day. - scheduling is much harder. - if you just hit RET, it could be yesterday for times before 6am or so - if you enter a relative date it still sort-of works. - if you also enter a time, the trouble definitely starts. Maybe you could try to write down a careful specification so that we could discuss that here? - Carsten On 27Oct2007, at 8:10 AM, John Wiegley wrote: > I find myself lately almost always awake until 8am.
