Dear all, Many, many thanks for all your responses!
I tried the diary one which seemed like the simplest to set-up. It indeed adds an entry, but in a strange way:it adds a level 1 headingfor the year, a level 2 heading for the month, a level 3 heading for the day and a level 4 heading for the event, that has the actual time-stamp. I guess it's not very important e.g. if you never read the agenda file itself but I may still prefer the capture solution which as I understand it requires a bit more customization but also brings greater flexibility. Thanks again for all the solutions you guys provided! Shérab.
