If not, then I am interested in usage approaches, and maybe even considering this as a feature request. For my own check lists, I prefer that each check box have the following appearance: ** TODO items to purchase for project - [ ] an item in the list, incomplete - [X] an item in the list, complete - [N] an item in the list that will never be performed What do other people do when a check list item is no longer valid; or you changed your mind? Archive it? Deleting a valid item, after choosing to skip it, seems a fallacious approach to organization; so the goal is a simple way to mark the item as skipped. For some reason, I have always thought of a check list item as being congruent to a 3-value enumerated type. -timotheus
