Hi,

Two questions about deadline items in the agenda.

1. The default warning period for upcoming deadlines is 14 days. There must be a variable to control this, but I'm having trouble finding it in the manual.

2. Is there a property to override the warning period for specific headlines? For example, if I have a project due on a certain date, a two-week warning makes sense. But, for paying the rent, a two-week warning means that I see the warning for half the month, which is a bit too much. I'd like to make that one 7 days.

Thanks,
hjh

you can specify the warning time directly in the time stamp.  See
example in the info manual (section 8.3: deadlines and scheduling).

Perfect on both questions, thanks!

I overlooked the "-time" specifier, probably because it's in a longer paragraph with other points. Thanks for pointing me to the place where I should look closer.
