Thank you for your reply. Sorry I did not give enough information in
previous posting.

I am using Safari. I read the manual, and also read your scripts. I know
which applications are supported.

For example, I visit the page:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php

Then I run org-remember from script menu. The remember buffer I got is:


,----
| ##     C-c C-c  "~/.emacs.d/org/notes.org" -> "* Remember"
| ## C-u C-c C-c  like C-c C-c, and immediately visit note at target location
| ## C-0 C-c C-c  "???" -> "* ???"
| ## C-1 C-c C-c  to select file and header location interactively.
| ## C-2 C-c C-c  as child of the currently clocked item
| ## To switch templates, use `M-x org-remember'.  To abort use `C-c C-k'.

Only timestamp and link to source page.

My settings are:
(I commented out remember template in org-mac-protocol and then put it
in ~/.emacs.d/init.el)

org-mac-protocol runs well, just initial content is not inserted.

BTW, I suggest to put default remember templates in manual, instructing
users to explicitly set templates in .emacs. Users can choose to use
default templates or use their own.
