Hi,
I read the tutorial on
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/org_dates/
about how to use dates. The tutorial says I can use "++3d" to indicate
"3 days after the default date". My understanding is the default date is
the original date in the schedule.
So, if I do a "C-c C-s" and input "++3d" on the following,
* MAYBE A test
SCHEDULED: <2008-02-11 Mon>
I should get
* MAYBE A test
SCHEDULED: <2008-02-13 Wed>
But I found "++3d" produces the same result as "+3d", which is 3 days
after today.
I remember quite a while ago people had some discussion on this and
"++3d" was invented then. Did I miss anything in my usage of this
feature? Thanks.

AFAIK, the difference between +2d and ++2d is only relevant when
*editing* the timestamp at point -- not when rescheduling with C-c C-s.
Maybe this should be the case.

I tried again, and yes only with "C-c ." on an existing timestamp will
the "++2d" work.
I agree it would be nice if this also works on "C-c C-s" and "C-c C-d",
without changing the behavior of pressing "RET" after the prompt, which
will set the date to today.
