I think Greg's point is about entering data using only numeric keypad. I can confirm that I have considered these issues (esp. 1400 vs. 14:00). Fractional hours don't seem to be that easy as there are countries like Poland where you use comma as decimal point (working with Emacs' built in calc is a pain) which earns another few lines for parsing code. -- Miłego dnia, Łukasz Stelmach _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
