I am embarrassed that it doesn't work: I thought that the main problem was that it had poor documentation and a difficult user interface. But I had not noticed that the project setup and document introduction bits didn't work anymore since I have not created any projects nor added any documents for a few years. Mostly I've been analysing a lot of interview data that I had already added. And there are a few nice developments in Emacs that could be added to it, such as the tree-widget facility, and Muse's hyperlinking and publishing. > Jim, however I can help you, please tell me.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. > Oh, by the way, congratulations for your PhD. Thank you! It seems to be harder to find time for Emacs programming since passing the PhD, though.
