My main point of indecision right now is one file vs. many files. At home I've had one file, and at work I've been trying one file per project. Because of the way timekeeping works, however, it looks like I'll either be moving all of my projects back into one file, or writing a lisp function to do a time summary table for all files in org-agenda-files. It is looking to me currently like one file for projects and tasks is the way to go, with other files being useful mainly for longer notes, journal entries, and references... -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Jason F.
