,----[ 9.4.2 Bare-Bones Planning ]
| 
| You can keep all of your tasks, notes and schedules in a single file:
| WelcomePage.  This is good for people who are used to storing all of
| their information in a flat text file.  By storing your information in
| planner, you'll be able to take advantage of automatic hyperlinking to
| files and other resources.  You can also sort your tasks by priority
| and status.
| 
|    To set your system up for bare-bones planning, set the
| `planner-use-day-pages' variable to nil before loading planner.  For
| example, you can put this in your `~/.emacs' (or `_emacs'):
| 
|      (setq planner-use-day-pages nil)
|      (setq planner-default-page nil)
|      (require 'planner)
| 
|    When you create a task or note, planner will not prompt you for a
| date.  If you press <RET> when prompted for a plan page, it will accept
| the default of nil, so no other plan pages will be used.  All of your
| data will be kept in one file, which can then be easily backed up.
| 
|    You can use commands like `planner-create-task-from-buffer' to
| create tasks, or you can type tasks in manually.  You can edit or
| delete anything in the page without having to update other files.
| 
`----

Also, you can now set planner-initial-page to someting other than "WelcomePage"
should you feel the need.
