I thought I'd give "todo-mode" a try. But, I still can't make the "todo" entries show up in the calendar ... note that I've been using the calendar/diary package itself for many years ... nice! Here's what I'm doing with emacs-21.2.1. Among other things, my .emacs contains: (setq diary-file "~/.diary") (add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display) The first line of my ".diary" file is: #include "~/.todo-do" { also tried "/home/khj/.todo-do" } And the above file contains: -*- mode: todo; todo-categories: ("Todo" "Todo" "Todo"); -*- */* --- Todo */* 2002-09-15 20:32 khj: get todo-mode to work! --- End */* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Typing "M-x calendar", however, shows my ".diary" entries just as before. Shouldn't I see the "get todo-mode to work!" as well? Most likely I'm just forgetting something (though I have read 'info' pages and the "todo-mode.el" source). Thanks for any help, -Kenneth
