Hello Alexander, Thanks for your attention.
that is strange. I cannot remember doing something else besides putting the mentioned code into my init file. I can only think of these "trivial" reason why this does not work for you: - Did you evaluate the code or restarted your emacs?
Yes, I killed emacs (daemon) and restarted it. How do you evaluate (reload) ~/.emacs from emacs running?
- Are the files you are editing somewhere under /home/js/?
Yes: in /home/js/DropBox/orgmode and then /home/js/.emacs
- Did you really edit and save a file since adding the code to your init file?
Yes
- In case you are editing files under version control: Did you turn on vc-make-backup-files?
None of those files are under version control. I have done this on two computers - at work (the earlier message) and home. Regards Johann -- J.H.
