The template is this:

    ("l" "org-protocol" entry (file "~/org/links.org" "Links")
     "\n* Link: %c\n%U\n%i\n" :immediate-finish)

If I do a capture explicitly using this template, it also gives me the 
CAPTURE-N-... buffer.

Thanks. The OS X instructions on the org-protocol page 
<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html> seem to be tied to a
Mac app, EmacsClient.app, which is tied to Aquamacs, a Mac-ified version of Gnu 
emacs which is not the one I'm interested in
using. Also, I've tried installing EmacsClient.app per the instructions (i.e., 
download and unpack the ZIP, but the ZIP does not
unpack for me. If I unpack EmacsClient.zip, it gives me EmacsClient.zip.cpgz.

Thanks,
