Org-mode emacs help

Hi

I want to try out org-mode for emacs. I got it bundled with Emacs 22.1 on
Windows XP.

Now, I've inserted the following lines into my .emacs as per the
instructions given at :
http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org.html

;;***************************************************************
;; Org Mode Settings
;;***************************************************************

;; The following lines are always needed.  Choose your own keys.
     (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
     (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
     (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)


After that how do I start using Org-mode?

Do I need to create some file or anything else needs to be configured?

Please help.

You can start editing (or create new) a file with extension ".org".

You may also enable org-mode explicitly typing `M-x org-mode RET`.

Thank you all, after creating a sample.org file, I could follow and
implement all the functions mentioned in the Org-mode tutorial.

Thanks a lot.

But one more thing, can I define all the tasks/todos at the time level
instead at day level? Say, I get the list of tasks sorted by time for
a day and may be some kind of reminders? :D

This associates all files ending with the '.org' extension with org-mode.

    Ankur> (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link) 

This defines a key in the global key map which allows C-c l to store an org-mode
link.

    Ankur> (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

Another global key map to display the agenda using the C-c a keys.

Try C-x C-f test.org and see if the org-mode is enabled (the status bar should
have 'Org-mode' listed).

Or, you can just do M-x org-mode while in any buffer, and the Org-mode major
mode will be enabled for that buffer.

No. You have configured it already. Other *customizations* are certainly
possible.

P.S: Do read http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org.html#Activation
which has all the relevant details.
