Re: [Orgmode] Not using GTD

What is your version of org-mode?

   C-h v org-version RET

My guess is that you are not using the latest version of org-mode.
John is using some features like `org-remember-store-without-prompt'
which was implemented only very recently.

I don't start a new thread for my question since it is a problem
directly connected to this wonderful article by John Wiegley.

Since I'm quite new to Emacs and Org-mode I followed his instructions
step by step, including the configuration of the init file and the
proposed templates and file names. But I encountered some problems.

- When I start remember to "fire in" a new task, the template is
  correctly loaded after hitting `t' and I can enter a new TODO. Then,
  when I'm hitting C-c C-c Emacs asks me for a file
  name proposing a non-existing ~/org/ as the default. I have to
  manually change this to ~/todo.org, which is the file name used in
  John's configuration. This should not be so, I think.

- Anyway, I added some tasks in this way. Then I looked at my
  todo.org. According to John I should look like:

  * Tasks
  #+CATEGORY: Tasks
  ** TODO something
   [2007-08-28 Die]
  ** TODO something else
   [2007-08-28 Die]

  But in my case it looks like:

  * Tasks
  ** TODO something
   [2007-08-28 Die]
  ** TODO something else
   [2007-08-28 Die]
  #+CATEGORY: Tasks

  In other words, to TODO lines and the corresponding time stamps are
  misplaced.

As an Emacs newbee I have no idea what could have gone wrong.

I'm using Emacs 22.1.50.1 on Debian Etch. I give the relevant part of
my .emacs down below. It's exactly the same as in John's article
(except for the load-paths, the path of the templates and the
key-binding for remember).

Thank you for help.

Greetings,

Sven
