Is there an easy way to emulate this with marks? I use tick right now to mean some set of all of those and often things get lost between important and todo. I've tried working by copying todo's to a special folder but I'm not trainable enough in that mode. Something like bookmarks might solve this where you can bookmark articles in the group. Is this feature useful for anything currently? There don't appear to be commands to visit bookmarked articles. If a classification system could be imposed on a bookmark-like system with support for Summary fontification. Does anyone do anything like this currently? -- Chris Green "Not everyone holds these truths to be self-evident, so we've worked up a proof of them as Appendix A." -- Paul Prescod
