Forgot to ask in my last response- since I plan to use org-resolve-clocks
much more regularly than perhaps it was intended, I would like to make a
key biniding for it.  If there are plans to do this in an emacs
distribution at some point, I'd like to choose something logical- ideally
something that the org team would choose.  Could you make a suggestion?

Thanks again!
Joe
