`org-list-set-checkbox' modifies the structure, i.e., the internal list
representation. It doesn't modify the buffer. You would have to apply
the new structure to the buffer with `org-list-write-struct'.

Just started today to want to do some thing, so I am a tabula rasa. ;-)

 

Anyway, it's much simpler to use `org-toggle-checkbox'.

That goes wrong when there is a marked region. I only want to set the current checkbox.

 

So I have to work out how to use org-list-wrte-struct.
