Right. That refers to org-habit.el from version 6.32
(http://orgmode.org/Changes.html#sec-3.2). I was following
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php
as I am using an earlier version. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

 As I mentioned yesterday, I am trying to follow
 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php

 I have the following entry:

 ** TODO Go to the gym   :habit:
SCHEDULED: 2010-03-24 Wed .+2d

 and even managed to successfully go to the gym as planned :) However,
 I couldn't update the status until today (the day after I completed
 the task), so when I updated the status with C-c C-t it added the
 next occurence two days from *today*. It might not always be the way
 that I update the status a day after, sometimes it might be the same
 day, or two days after, or whatever. Is there a way, short of
 manually editing the file, of taking care of that? I know it's
 because of the . in the .+2d but given that sometimes I won't do it
 on the planned date, I think it's best to have that in there - or is
 there a better solution for when I miss the planned date?

I think it works as you want if you just drop the .
SCHEDULED: 2010-03-24 Wed +2d

.+2d is 2 days from today
+2d  is 2 days later
++2d repeat 2 days later until the date is after today

I think all of these formats work with habits.

HTH,
Bernt

If this is really the case, I think the manual should be modified to
reflect this:

It seemed to work for me but I didn't test it extensively.
