Re: org mode and ledger

Ok. I'm nobody's guru in anything, but I have used - and continue to use -
both of these utilities for years now.
Normally with each new update of emacs nothing much changes with these two
in my usage of them.
For org mode, 1) I open Emacs, 2) if I have a question with org mode I do "
C h i" to go to info, 3) then "m", 4) then " org" followed by "tab" to fill
it out, then " enter". This used to to take me to something of an org mode
manual within info.
Not any more. Now all I get is " [ no match ] ".
As for ledger, that's a double entry command line accounting system that's
really amazing. I've tried others, including gnucash. Gnucash is very nice
- the best of all that I've tried outside of ledger - but it doesn't give
me control of my ledgers. Sooner or later with gnucash an error will crop
up where I screwed up somewhere and then I'm stuck with it because it's so
hard to back up. Not so with ledger, which never ever messes with your
data, and you always have the freedom to back up and fix things easily.
Maybe those manuals for ledger and org mode are things I added years ago
and just forgot. Don't know.
