[O] Windows XP: date and time-stamp for DONE items not showing-up

2011-08-08 Thread Chris Henderson
I'm new to orgmode and emacs.

I have downloaded emacs 23.3 for XP and trying to use orgmode that
comes bundled with this version of emacs.

I'm following this tutorial:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/orgtutorial_dto.html

When I mark a project as Done it doesn't show the CLOSED and date
and time-stamp as described in the tutorial. It just puts the DONE
in front of the task.

My _emacs file is under the C:\Documents and Settings\user_name
directory and it only has the following:

(require 'org-install)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org$ . org-mode))
(define-key global-map \C-cl 'org-store-link)
(define-key global-map \C-ca 'org-agenda)
(setq org-log-done t)

I have put emacs under C:\ drive and all the org files are under the
C:\emacs-23.3-bin-i386\emacs-23.3\lisp\org directory.

Could someone please tell me how to get the CLOSED and time and date
stamp for items that are marked as done?

Thanks.

I don't see t as a valid value for org-log-done in the customization
menu or docstring and I am not sure how it is interpreted.

Have you tried

M-x customize-variable RET org-log-done RET

and choose one of the values that is offered in the menu.

,[ C-h v org-log-done RET ]
| org-log-done is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is note
| Original value was nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Information to record when a task moves to the DONE state.
| 
| Possible values are:
| 
| nil Don't add anything, just change the keyword
| timeAdd a time stamp to the task
| notePrompt for a note and add it with template `org-log-note-headings'
| 
| This option can also be set with on a per-file-basis with
| 
|#+STARTUP: nologdone
|#+STARTUP: logdone
|#+STARTUP: lognotedone
| 
| You can have local logging settings for a subtree by setting the LOGGING
| property to one or more of these keywords.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

 Thanks.
