Man= y of my projects have specific times for deadlines (that is to say, time of= day on the date due). I can't see how to enter that other than by hand. Wh= en I type C-c C-d, I get the wonderful date prompt system. But I have not b= een able to discover how to get that to prompt me for the time or to includ= e a time, like it includes month and day, etc. I've spent some time with th= e manual and searching the archives, but my search skills haven't prevailed= . Any advice? What you get is really a date time prompt and not just a date prompt. You could enter date in any of the ways given in the org-manual [1]. There is just one example on how to enter the time, given in the manual 22 sept 0:34 --> 2006-09-22 0:34 But, entering time this way works with whatever format you use for entering the date. Enter the date and then enter time with a space separating the date and time. HTH, Puneeth [1] http://orgmode.org/manual/The-date_002ftime-prompt.html#The-date_002fti= me-prompt
