Hi John,

I am using Bernt's configuration (at least a part of it) for years without
problems until I switch to org 8.

I hame commented most of my init.el file and uncomment bits of
configuration lines one at a time. and I have found where is located the
problem. I have know to investigate why it is a problem.

The offending line is (bh/org-agenda-to-appt), this is one of the function
from the configuration of Bernt, so I have now to check my version against
the one on his page to see if he doesn't update it.

And to answer your question, the loaded version of org-mode is "Org-mode
version beta_8.3 (beta_8.3-16-g16c71d6 @
/home/reveatwork/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)"

I will also perform a "make clean > make" of my installation of org-mode
just in case some their is some garbage left from previous version.


Thanks for your help,


Roland.
