Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] new user questions - configuration, timeclock, nested task, publishing

[Patrick McKnight]

Seth,

Thanks for your input and help.  I followed Sacha's advice by looking
at the planner documentation and reading the headers for each of the
additional lisp files.  I have a good idea what other code I wish to
load in my config file.  I still do not grasp the config loader for
the .emacs file due solely to my absolute ignorance of lisp.  No
worries though.  I will search the web and learn a bit more about
emacs lisp.  Thanks again.

Oh, and I agree with your sentiments.  There is a large and growing
group of us that use R/ESS/LaTeX/Sweave but most of us do so quietly
without much fanfare.  A bit of a shame if you ask me.  Others should
learn the ease of use of this combination.

Cheerio...
