In case some are wondering, Jörg is referring to a message I sent to him
about updating org-mode in Carbon Emacs. I meant to send the message to
this list, but I failed to hit "reply all" when I sent it and I didn't
check its address before I sent it. Anyway, in case others are
interested, the message is below.

Hi Jörg,
I can't answer your question, but I've recently updated org-mode in
Carbon emacs. Here is what I did.
1. After decompressing org-6.06b.tar.gz, open the Makefile file, using
Emacs of course ;), in the org-6.06b folder.
2. You will see the following text
##----------------------------------------------------------------------
## YOU MUST EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES
##----------------------------------------------------------------------
First, you must provide the name of your Emacs binary. Mine is:
# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=/Applications/Emacs/22.2/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
The /Applications/Emacs/22.2/ part is my quirky path to Emacs.app. From
what you've written, it appears that your path is straightforward as
follows:
# Name of your emacs binary
EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
Next, you must give the path to of Emacs.app. Mine is:
# Where local software is found
prefix=/Applications/Emacs/22.2
Yours should be:
# Where local software is found
prefix=/Applications
If you accidentally put a "/" at the end (as I did once), the
installation will fail.
Finally, put in the paths for the local lisp files and the info files as
follows:
# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes
# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info
Don't forget to C-x C-s to save the changes.
3. Now, open a terminal and cd to the org-6.06b directory that contains
the Makefile you just edited. Run the following:
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo make install-info
The installation is complete. To check this do "M-x org-version" in
Emacs. You may have to restart Emacs first.

Hi Edward, hi Scott:
Thanks for the answers. I did use checkboxes before, so C-c C-c and C-c
# were familiar. But it turned out that (properly!) updating to the
recent org-version corrected everything. I recently changed from 10.4 to
Leopard, it's possible that the problem existed since the switch---but I
don't know.
Anyway: now I know how to update org-mode! Thanks, Scott.
Cheers, Jörg
