Dear Mr. Dominik,
Thank you for your work in Org-Mode, I started researching about it
a month ago and I have started using it 10 days ago (used to work in
outlook but it just can't cope with my life now). And so far am
happy with it except for some things that's not working as expected.
I am using Windows XP and have downloaded the latest release version
for emacs (22.3.1) and org-mode (6.18c). But when I type M-x org-
version 5.23a.
* Org-Mode does not start by itself when emacs is started - I always
have to type "ALT-X org-mode" (in your book convention: M-x) or put
on each file "MY PROJECTS -*- mode: org; -*-"
* Agenda view does not come out with the shortcut C-c a - I always
have to use the mouse and org->agenda command -> t
* I want my default org file to open when I start emacs or org-mode
but don't know how to do this. I always have to browse to the
correct directory and open the file.
* Other things but I think should be resolved if those above can work.
I consider myself competent with computers and normally can easily
make things work with reading documentation and searching through
newsgroups, web. But this is taking a bit too long.
Some info and Things I have done to try to resolve it:
* I placed emacs in directory c:/emacs, downloaded 6.18c orgmode
file to c:/emacs/org
* I am logged in with admin rights on Windows
* I have added the path to emacs in environment variables. C:/emacs/
bin
* I have watched your video at google 3 times, gone through the
manual particularly installation and activation parts, searched the
newsgroups and google searched whatever I can...
* I can't find any file named emacs or *.emacs so I created ".emacs"
file and placed it in c:/emacs - I attach my emacs file.
* Make command from the installation manual does not work (even
inside emacs Tools-> Make) - I attach my makefile which I have
edited based on the installation manual.
But, I still can't get things to work properly. I hope that you can
help.
Thank you for a great software!
Regards,
Bailey
