Hi Jack,

I shy back from that because the config -- a strongly modified version
of the configuration pubished at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html --
is quite lengthy.

The config starts with
(require 'org)
immediately after adjusting some paths so the git-version of org is
found. Some lines below there's
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" .
org-mode))

How would I find out?
Emacs adds the org-specific menu entries upon opening that file, and
shows org as major mode in the status line. At least some of the org
shortcuts (like adding a timestamp, or the basic outlining key-codes)
are active. I just sorely miss the highlighting :-(
Thanks for any hints,
Julius
