Then perhaps something more is wrong. I downloaded orgmode-7.8.02 and
installed that after having run the standard gitclone command to clone
org-mode on this system. I did that because the gitclone process pulled
version 5.23 for me and also created my git repository for me in that
process. I don't know how or why that happened but it was a satellite
connection yesterday and not my usual cable connection.On Thu, 29 Dec
