Aloha Axel and Tom,
You both pushed me in the right direction.
I did a clean install and did not load any new packages, now it works
like it should.
Thanks and all the best from Japan,
Maria

Axel,
o yes! I made a mistake in my test file on the Macbook. Now, with the
list as a real list, the setup on my Macbook works great.
So, the problem is definitely the emacs/org-mode set up on my iMac, the
list file there was OK.
I will now re-install the whole emacs application and try to keep
everything clean. Then I will test exactly the same way like on the
Macbook and write again on this list, whether it worked.
Best and thanks a lot,
Maria

Now, I will explain the behaviour on my Macbook.
My test buffer (file, in org mode) looks like this:
*****
* A test todo [/]
[X] checkbox
[ ] another checkbox
*****
Two things I observe:
**1** As far as I understand, the counter in the headline should
update with C-c C-c. Instead, I am asked to enter a tag, and this tag
will then be set.
You have to be on the [/].
If you are anywhere else on the line the default behavior is indeed to
set a tag.
**2** When I try C-c C-c with the cursor on the checkbox line, it
should change the state of the line and that of the counter -- if I
understand correctly. But I get another message "C-c C-c can do
nothing useful at this location.“
Right, because you are not in a list, use:
*****
* A test todo [/]
- [X] checkbox
- [ ] another checkbox
*****
BTW, you should get exactly the same behavior in the shell.
In case you want to use the same Emacs in the shell and in GUI, add
/Applications/Emacs\ 24.5.app/Contents/MacOS/
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ adjust as appropriate
to your PATH.
Axel
