Thanks, much better. Presumably that will filter into 

http://orgmode.org/org.pdf
http://orgmode.org/manual/index.html

as well? since those were what I was working from. (Because
`make install-info-debian` did not work for me, but

init.el

does now.) You might also link to section 9.1 from section 1.2
(Installation). (Is the top-level doc worg-able? An idle question at
this point, since getting org-mode setup is a subtask of "organizing
my life in plain text," and setting up git is farther down the
priority list.)

One more doc suggestion:

appears to be correct, since

http://orgmode.org/manual/Setting-up-Remember.html#Setting-up-Remember
