I'm usually for collapsing similar things in to one more flexible thing, but there is a lot of meaning attached to something being a todo entry in the outline as opposed to being a mere checkbox in a list. Some times it would be nice to steal a feature of one and use it on the other, but the implicit difference is too useful I think to collapse them. I remember Carsten musing about this in the past and it sounds like there were some implementation issues that made it unreasonable. It it were reasonable to implement and if it was just as easy to get the current differences between todo entries and checkbox lists then I guess I wouldn't be against it. If everything became an outline entry I would definitely need the '*' hiding though. :-) Edd
