Remember string prompt won't accept spaces %^{Prompt text}

I have set up Remember with org-mode and found that the prompt
directive doesn't allow spaces in the input.

This is the directive (to capture Internet banking
receipts)  .....

  '(("Receipt"   ?r "** %^{BriefDesc} %U %^g\n%?" "~/GTD/GTD/finances.org")

After I issue the command C-c r  and choose r (for Receipt)
I see the new window for Remember filled in like this:

**  [2008-01-01 Tue 21:02] %^g
%?

And in the minibuffer, a prompt:

BriefDesc:
As soon as I type a space I get a message [No Match].

Why can't I enter a space?   I am running org-mode 5.17a
on GNU Emacs 22.1.1 on Windows XP.

Thanks
Charles

lognotestate for some keywords when set globally not per-buffer?

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope you had fun celebrating and are ready
for another 12 months of org-fuelled efficiency ;-)

I just switched from per-buffer settings:

#+SEQ_TODO: NEXT(n) STARTED(>) | DONE(d)
#+SEQ_TODO: PROJECT(p) | PROJDONE(P)
#+SEQ_TODO: WAITING(w <at> ) CHASE(C <at> ) |
#+SEQ_TODO: SOMEDAY(s) MAYBE(m) | CANCELLED(c <at> )

to a global setting in org-todo-keywords:

((sequence "NEXT(n)" "STARTED(>)" "|" "DONE(d)")
 (sequence "PROJECT(p)" "PROJDONE(P)")
 (sequence "WAITING(w <at> )" "CHASE(C <at> )" "|")
 (sequence "SOMEDAY(s)" "MAYBE(m)" "|" "CANCELLED(c <at> )"))

However it now seems to ignore the  <at>  symbols and never prompts for a
note on state change.  Is that a bug, or am I configuring it wrong?

It's a bug.  I mentioned it on Sunday but buried it in a hard-to-spot
place at the bottom of an old thread ;-)

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4804/focus=4805

I think this is the correct fix:

Sorting problem

Happy New Year All,

Sorting does not seem to work. It worked once when I tested it in the
past. I don't remember the exact circumstances.

Now it doesn't work with org-5.16b or org-5.17a, at least not with
emacs21 which I use because of the remember.el port of FreeBSD.

The error message is invariably the following:

Wrong number of arguments: etc

Do I need emacs22 ?

BTW, when running the upgrade-org script, make produces error messages
(about 80 lines).

Apart from this org mode works fine.

Harald

FUD on my part re: downloading revisions?

I have tried to amend Pete Phillips' download script so that it works

Hi;

You are not going to believe this; at least I don't believe it.

I'm confused.

How can the script have worked and compiled but not left an org.elc in
/home/bill/emacs/lisp/org  ?

Can you tell me whether the compile worked ? has it left an org.elc in 
/home/bill/emacs/lisp/org  ?

Also, have you added a line to your .emacs along the lines of

	(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/bill/emacs/lisp/org/")

If not, that would explain why it is not loading up.

For the permissions stuff, I'm guessing here, but if you untarred it as
root, root will restore the files with the original permissions, not
yours.

It's because tar tries to honour the uid/gid metadata when extracting,
but it's done numerically:
