Ah ha Success!!!
I "always" use the agenda mode to review my TODO items. So when
I went to the *Org Agenda* buffer, "v" gave me a prompt ("View:") and
a number of choices (including "c" for "clockcheck"), but every option
I chose gave me a message "Not allowed in todo-type agenda buffers".
I poked about a bit, and realised/remembered that "C-c a a" gave
an agenda that wasn't "todo-type", and yes, it does what I wanted.
It seemed such an obvious thing to want to do, I was
SURE there had to be an easy way to do it
Many thanks.

[O] How do I review a day
I'm starting to use Org mode's time logging stuff. I'd like to be able to review everything I have worked on today. Not the total hours, but each individual burst of work. So an ordered list of the CLOCK entries would be fine. I'm sure this should be possible, but I can't see how to do it... Is there a way?

[O] Capture Question
I'm trying to start using Capture, and I'd like to set up a template to capture a TODO to go "right here" --- i.e. at the point where the cursor is when I invoke capture. I can do that OK. EXCEPT that it always sets the headline level of the new element to that of a child of the currently clocking task. I'd LIKE to set it to the level for the current location -- so that it fits in "where I am now". Is there a way to do that? Related question: is there a function that will tell me about the entry that I'm currently in?

Well, I would have said "a pointer/cross-reference from the "Clocking work time" section". But actually, I see there *is* a link, at the foot of 8.4.1. But I didn't see it (or its significance did not register). Trying to re-construct my previous mental state, I think I believed that the "Agenda" seemed to be about TODOs and the like, and I'm not currently using that. So I didn't look/see the options that it offers, and nothing cued me to the fact that it could/would display clocked time. SO, two suggestions that would have maybe helped me: The "full monty" solution would be to create a new sub-section on "Correcting clocked time", and actually spell out what you can do to fix up your clocked time when the you realise you've done it wrong. And add a sentence or two at the end of the first para of 8.4, saying that clocked working time can be shown in some Agenda displays, and mentioning the "l" option. ((Good grief! While writing this, I've just tried the command again, and noticed that all previous activity on the current task is highlighted. NEAT! )) Anyway, I'm a happy camper.

YES! That's just what I wanted. Only better! It needs to be documented, though... Robert.

Is this what you need? Whoa! Close, but not touching. I nearly mis-read/understood you. I initially thought you just meant "^C-a-L" -- Timeline for current buffer. Which doesn't show any clock-related information. But I realise you actually meant that after I've done that, I should type "l" to get "Log" mode, it DOES show clock-related information. That's a really neat feature, and it's very close to what I want. But not quite right. It shows me the sequence of activities I logged time to, and how much time I logged. But it doesn't show me WHAT time I logged I want to check that (after I have manually edited one or more CLOCK lines) I haven't missed some time or "double-logged" any. And I can't see how to get that information.

[O] How can I review a day?
I've recently started using Org mode in earnest, and in particular using the time logging stuff. It's brilliant. But I have a problem. I sometimes (well, OK, fairly often, actually!) forget to clock in/out of jobs. That's OK, org is "my life in plain text", and I can simply edit the relevant clock lines to create a correct record of the day. BUT I worry about messing things up --- getting the times wrong, and either leaving gaps or creating overlapping activities, or both. So I'd like a way to review the time-line for a day: a way to see all the clock-in/clock-out pairs in order, so I can see any gaps or overlaps. Ideally with the relevant task title as well, to speed up fixing the mistake I can't believe I'm the only person to have wanted this, but I can't see an obvious way to get it. Is there a way to get this? Robert
