   "Store stuff from remember.el into an org file.
-First prompts for an org file.  If the user just presses return, the value
-of `org-default-notes-file' is used.
-Then the command offers the headings tree of the selected file in order to
-file the text at a specific location.
-You can either immediately press RET to get the note appended to the
-file, or you can use vertical cursor motion and visibility cycling (TAB) to
-find a better place.  Then press RET or <left> or <right> in insert the note.
+When the template has specified a file and a headline, the entry is filed
+there, or in the location defined by `org-default-notes-file' and
+`org-remember-default-headline'.
 
-Key      Cursor position   Note gets inserted
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-RET      buffer-start      as level 1 heading at end of file
-RET      on headline       as sublevel of the heading at cursor
-RET      no heading        at cursor position, level taken from context.
-			   Or use prefix arg to specify level manually.
-<left>   on headline       as same level, before current heading
-<right>  on headline       as same level, after current heading
+If no defaults have been defined, or if the current prefix argument
+is 1 (so you must use `C-1 C-c C-c' to exit remember), an interactive
+process is used to select the target location.
 
-So the fastest way to store the note is to press RET RET to append it to
-the default file.  This way your current train of thought is not
-interrupted, in accordance with the principles of remember.el.
-You can also get the fast execution without prompting by using
-C-u C-c C-c to exit the remember buffer.  See also the variable
-`org-remember-store-without-prompt'.
+When the prefix is 0 (i.e. when remember is exited with `C-0 C-c C-c'),
+the entry is filed to the same location as the previous note.
 
-Before being stored away, the function ensures that the text has a
-headline, i.e. a first line that starts with a \"*\".  If not, a headline
-is constructed from the current date and some additional data.
+When `C-u' has been used as prefix argument, the note is stored and emacs
+moves point to the new location of the note, so that editing can be
+continued there (smilar to inserting \"%&\" into the tempate).
+
+Before storing the note, the function ensures that the text has an
+org-mode-style headline, i.e. a first line that starts with
+a \"*\".  If not, a headline is constructed from the current date and

 If the variable `org-adapt-indentation' is non-nil, the entire text is
 also indented so that it starts in the same column as the headline
