Hi Marius, the difference between <date> and SCHEDULED: <date> is that <date> will cause the entry to appear in the agenda only on the given day, whereas SCHEDULED: <date> will also cause the entry to be displayed on the current day if it is scheduled in the past and has not been marked DONE yet. To see what I mean, put the following entries into an agenda file: * Test 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-11-05 Sat> * DONE Test 2 SCHEDULED: <2011-11-05 Sat> * Test 3 <2011-11-05 Sat> Because Test 1 it is not marked done, if you refresh your agenda view today, you will see something like this: Sched. 2x: Test 1 Test 2 does not show up because it is marked DONE and Test 3 does not show up because it does not contain the SCHEDULED keyword. (Note that Test 1 will only show up on the agenda view for today and the day it was scheduled for when you look at the agenda view for a day in the past or future, for example by using the weekly or monthly view or going forward/backward with the f and b keys. For more information, please refer to Section 8.3, "Deadlines and scheduling", in the Org manual. Hope this helps, Jan
