I get lost in the Lisp still. (1) I want to define a custom agenda view that displays only those tasks that have today as a deadline or are past-due. Since many of my tasks also have scheduled timestamps, sometimes these end up being the same day. It looks to me as if they will be left out if I skip scheduled items, even if they also have a current deadline. How can I finesse this? (2) Eventually, I want to create a DONE log of copies of items as they get finished, with contextual data retained. But for right now, all I want is to be able to switch to an agenda view of tasks that were complete today. I've tried a few ideas that seemed like low-hanging fruit here, but no luck. Anyone willing to help out with these? Thank you so much! -- Michael Michael C.
