When reading the info-pages, pick the topics you are interested in. It's too much to study all at once. While there are a lot of similar tutorials at the net, think it's faster sticking with the info delivered: you may quickly look up certain topics later too, faster being used to. Let's mention the separate org-mode info, when first steps are done. Good luck, Andreas
