I'm approaching this as a user. I've made one contribution to this project, and that was 3 or 4 lines of documentation. I don't know the code base, I don't know the design principles, and I don't have the time to teach it to myself. So, as a user, I was expecting something to happen that didn't. That's a bug. That may be a misuse of the term, and I apologize for using it loosely. Now perhaps I should have restated it as a "feature request" in the follow up e-mail. That's probably more accurate, and that's what I'll do now. The function isn't designed to work the way I thought it would, so it would be nice if it worked that way. Really, list items seem (to me) to be a perfectly natural extension. Maybe I'm just Doing It Wrong (tm). :D > Except that I was suggesting to turn these instructions into a function, > not doing them manually. A technique of which I'm woefully ignorant. I've made half-hearted attempts once or twice in the past year to write my own functions, but it isn't the best use of my time to learn elisp at the moment. A long term goal, but nothing I can fix overnight. That's why Florian's code was so welcome! >> Of course, I can keep working for now, and I'll try Florian's code. >> Maybe it might be adaptable to a robust function called >> 'org-refile-list-item'?

I hope its clear that this is all above my head. I know enough to make suggestions, but not contribute to implementing them. That makes me a free-rider, but a free-rider that recognizes he's at the mercy of others' talents. Thanks for your patience, Nicolas. -- Jeffrey Horn http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/
