Re: Manual input of Done date

Your assumption is exactly right, r634718 -- I'm using the system Done 
folder.  I had not realised how it was different from other date 
folders.  I'm trying your earlier suggestion, and if I don't like that 
I'll switch to a user-defined Done date folder.

Thanks very much for your help -- much appreciated.
