Here is my .emacs file: (require 'hfyview) ;;Org-mode settings (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode)) (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link) (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda) (global-font-lock-mode 1) This is the version of emacs I am using now. This is GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-02-26 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched) I will keep investigating this. I like the org application in Emacs too but occasionally need to print.
