Re: copy file from link into agenda

[Subhan Tindall <subhan.tindall@rentrakmail.com>]

Sorry, that , while cool, is not what I am looking for.
Following the instructions you game will show
org-agenda-entry-text-maxlines (default 5) lines
of the entry itself in the note file:
So, if this is then entry in the date tree in the Daily-work-log.org file:
**** LOG <2013-01-31 Thu> /home/stindall/.emacs
Lots of time helping tom w/test plan for xtn_invgen_BE.pl
some lines
some more lines

Running the agenda command initially shows this:
Daily-work-log.org:             LOG    /home/stindall/.emacs

Hitting E expands it to:
Daily-work-log.org:             LOG    /home/stindall/.emacs
Lots of time helping tom w/test plan for xtn_invgen_BE.pl
some lines
some more lines

What I'm looking for is a way to load the contents of
/home/stindall/.emacs into the agenda,
ideally producing something similar to this:
LOG  <datestamp> /home/stindall/.emacs
<contents of .emacs file>

LOG  <datestamp> <some other file>
<contents of some other file>

my elisp-fu is not strong, so I'm hoping that a workable approximation
of what I need already exists.
