Though I don't know NTemacs, you should have no problem just following
the docs.  The trick is that you will be adding your new
path/to/org-mode to the *front* of your load-path, so emacs will find
it first.  The old code will still be there, it just won't be used.
No harm done, and minimal changes made.

Org development proceeds much faster than Emacs, and the Emacs
maintainers have a very conservative policy about inclusions.  The
result is that so far, the versions of org mode in an Emacs release
are oldish versions already when the Emacs versions that include them
are released.  The Emacs-release versions of org-mode do have many
bugs squashed that come up in the interval between their inclusion and
the Emacs release, but not the new features.  And since org has gotten
some cool stuff lately, almost everyone who wants to really milk it
has to do exactly what you'll be doing: install it afresh.  (And in
two months you may be wondering how you can get the development git
version).

Let us know if you need any help.  if you need any help after reading
the docs (and the Worg FAQ, then we need to improve Worg).

Cheers, and welcome,

Scot

The docs seem to assume that orgmode is *not* installed on your system. If I add a load-path, will that overwrite the old orgmode installed on my system?
