Org changes pretty fast. Fundamentally it's still as simple but so many usability and convenience features have been added. If you used Org briefly earlier then perhaps you may want to check out what has been added since at http://orgmode.org/Changes.html. > but have been a power emacs user for more than 13 years.

Org manual is really really good; do try it.

A space is required between the brackets:

 [ ]

not

 []


Could that be the issue? (I made that very mistake when I was new to org-mo= de.)

That was it.  And I missed the '-' c= haracter for the list.

Thanks a lot.  Now everything is working= .
