--------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude <[email protected]> Adobe fiend for failing to Flash if S-<ret> means hold the shift key down then hit return, in emacs org-mode 7.9.2 this key combination did not increment the date stamp. When I keyed in the date stamp, I did it by hand keying in all of the required characters myself since a couple of the dates are already in the past. Could that have prevented proper date incrementing? Could I get around this block by entering the first date stamp as <today -2d> and then trying shift-return from there on out to get the other needed dates in the log?
