(A > closer one is the refill, which moves the entry to another category) With point on a day in the agenda, try "i d", and see the value of org-agenda-diary-file. Here's the snippet from the info doc. Stephen `i (`org-agenda-diary-entry')' Insert a new entry into the diary, using the date at the cursor and (for block entries) the date at the mark. This will add to the Emacs diary file(3), in a way similar to the `i' command in the calendar. The diary file will pop up in another window, where you can add the entry. If you configure `org-agenda-diary-file' to point to an Org-mode file, Org will create entries (in org-mode syntax) in that file instead. Most entries will be stored in a date-based outline tree that will later make it easy to archive appointments from previous months/years. The tree will be built under an entry with a `DATE_TREE' property, or else with years as top-level entries. Emacs will prompt you for the entry text--if you specify it, the entry will be created in `org-agenda-diary-file' without further interaction. If you directly press at the prompt without typing text, the target file will be shown in another window for you to finish the entry there. See also the `k r' command.
