Re: [O] Org-mode and Taskjuggler

[Louis Turk]

Hi Christian and others that are helping me,

Many thanks!  I've run into more problems, but I'm encouraged that with
your help I'll soon have Taskjuggler enabled.

I did this.

"M-x customize org-export-backends" did not work for me. If I type "M-x 
customize-group" then type "org" I get into org related stuff, but nothing 
about export-backends. And in trying to figure this out I somehow disabled C-c 
C-e, so now I can't export to anything. I'm hoping I haven't disable a whole 
lot of other commands also. How can I fix this?

I'm using Emacs 23.3 which is the latest version packaged by Mint Linux. Do I 
need to upgrade to version 24.1?

I am (and will be) using that file until I get everything working.
