Hi all,
I found the problem. I used "org-agenda-directory" instead of org-agenda-files.
Not recognising that this variable doesn't seem to exist (did it ever exist?)
I assumed I can use it to indicate the org files folder.
With org-agenda-files everything works perfectly.
I now have about 48 custom commands (partly of course hierarchical) and with
dynamically changing the set of org files I really feel I have control over my todos!
I am very happy with org!
Thank you both!
Rainer
