Re: [emacs-wiki-discuss] is my config file correct for planner?

[Rino Mardo]

well i'll be. i have only emacs20. apparently one has to do an apt-get
of emacs21 and not just plain "emacs".

everything's in order now (i think) as i'm part of sacha's ~/.emacs
and with no errors coming up.

what a great planner. what a great list. thanks.
