It might be worth mentioning that the user should not create the org-persist-directory himself. I did this originally (mkdir ~/.emacs.d/org-persist <RET>, touch ~/.emacs.d/org-persist/index <RET>) and got various parsing error messages. Everything worked fine after I deleted my own handiwork and left the directory creation to org-persist. I had originally set org-element-use-cache to nil because I remember reading somewhere that the nil setting would help prevent emacs from hanging in org-mode. I'll certainly begin using org-persist and see what happens. Thanks for your help. Best wishes, Colin.
