[solved] Re: records mode: error getting TODOs

[Erich.Waelde@t-online.de (Erich Waelde)]

I was too fast. I found it in the end:
 was lurking in ~/.emacs !!!
(add-hook 'records-make-record-hook
          (function (lambda ()
                      (records-insert-template  current-pre­fix-arg))))
-----------------------------------------------------------^
So that's why.

Cheers,

Erich, relieved, but
feeling a whee bit like an idiot  >:->
