At least I've found it to be a good reference and good for searching (when you view the manual as a single file). The lisp expression sets the default. The '#+' line overrides for the file. Actually, I've never really use the lisp expression. Since there is now the ability to have multiple sequences of todo states, I guess I don't know if it's an override or if it's just adding a new sequence. I would guess it's an override though since I do not have the TODO/DONE sequence in any of the files where I've added the '#+' entry. Edd
