[O] Trouble with ordered list start number
Hello, I see in the manual http://orgmode.org/manual/Plain-lists.html that with ordered lists, you can for example start one with the number 20 by starting the text of the item with [@20] I assume this means I can just have a newline that looks like this [@20] some text for this item and hit M-Return after typing the text for the item, and have a `21. ' appear below it. But when I do, it gives me the top header (`*') instead. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Chris (Org-mode version 7.4)

[@20] some text for this item 21. point here -- Bernt
