Thank you, Matt.

A followup...
I've discovered that after setting the org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done to
non-nil, I was still getting DONE items in my agenda view.  I then realized
that I'd changed the org-todo-keywords recently to:

(setq org-todo-keywords '("TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" "DONE" "CANCELED"))

from:
(setq org-todo-keywords '("TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" "DONE"))

When I re-ordered the keywords to:
(setq org-todo-keywords '("TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" "CANCELED" "DONE"))

I got back to where the DONE items were not being shown in the agenda view
as I was expecting.

Is there a requirement that "DONE" appears last in the list of keywords?
Just curious... it was something I'd not run into previously.

Thanks,
Jerry
