Re: [O] Multiple capture templates in file

Marco - Thanks for the reply.

"How could anyone tell if you don't show your attempt?" - Good point.
Wasn't thinking there.  First I will try what you have suggested since
you were kind enough to create the code, and if I can't get that
working, I'll show what I tried and also go back and re-create what I
was trying with add-to-list.  I am new to Lisp and Elisp, but I think
your function is saying push an association list (which is the
template) to the variable org-capture-templates.  Please forgive my
apparent slowness :)
