;; Description:
;;
;; To get this to work, make emacs execute the line "(require 'todomode)"
;; and maybe initialise the variables below on startup.
;;
;; Just for the case that you are wondering about the ugly name of this
;; package: I am one of those unfortunate people who have DOS, LINUX and
;; OS/2 on one of their computers, so part of my home-filespace is shared
;; and stored on a DOS partition, which is accessible to all systems.  If
;; you wish, you can of course rename the name of the file (and the last
;; command) to something more aisthetically (please don't argue about
;; this spelling ...) pleasing, like i.e. todo-mode.
;;
;; You will have the following facilities available:
;;
;; M-x todo-mode              will enter the todo list screen, here type
;; +                          to go to next category
;; -                          to go to previous category
;; e                          to edit the current entry
;; f                          to file the current entry, including a
;;                                                 comment and timestamp
;; i                          to insert a new entry
;; k                          to kill the current entry
;; l                          lower the current entry's priority
;; n                          for the next entry
;; p                          for the previous entry
;; q                          to save the list and exit the buffer
;; r                          raise current entryk's priority
;; s                          to save the list
;;
;; When you add a new entry, you are asked for the text and then for the
;; category.  I for example have categories for things that I want to do
;; in the office (like mail my mum), that I want to do in town (like buy
;; cornflakes) and things I want to do at home (move my suitcases).  The
;; categories can be selected with the cursor keys and if you type in the
;; name of a category which didn't exist before, an empty category of the
;; desired name will be added.
;;
;; I would recommend to add the following bindings to your global keymap:
;;
;; (global-set-key "\C-ct" 'todo-show)
;; (global-set-key "\C-ci" 'todo-cmd-inst)
;;
;; This will enable you to quickly find the todo-list, or to simply add an
;; entry, without changing to it and getting sidetracked from your current
;; project.
;;
;; I would also recommend that use the prefix "*/*" (by leaving the
;; variable 'todo-prefix' untouched) so that the diary displays
;; each entry every day.
;;
;; For this, please read the documentation that goes with the calendar
;; since that will tell you how you can set up the fancy diary display
;; and use the #include command to include your todo list file as part
;; of your diary.
;;
;; Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy.  If you have 8 items
;; in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions by the binary
;; insertion algorithm.  However, you may not really have a need for such
;; accurate priorities amongst your TODO items.  If you now think about
;; the binary insertion halfing the size of the window each time, then
;; the threshhold is the window size at which it will stop.  If you set
;; the threshhold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at the
;; end of the loop and you will insert your item just before that point.
;; If you set the threshhold to i.e. 8, it will stop as soon as the window
;; size drops below that amount and will insert the item in the approximate
;; centre of that window.  I got the idea for this feature after reading
;; a very helpful e-mail reply from Trey Jackson <[e-mail]>
;; who corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some good
;; reading.  Thanks Trey!
;;
;; Enjoy this package and express your gratitude by sending valuables
;; to my parents' address as listed above!!!
