Bastien:
I sense that your reply contains the key to the functionality that I
want but I find I am unable to figure it out. I'm sorry to bother you
further but I would be grateful for a little more direction.
My first problem is that C-h is mapped to backspace on my computer. I
presume (C-h v) means view help on a particular item.
My second problem is that org-agenda-ignore is not a valid prefix for
anything in my version of org-mode. (I have version 7.9.3d
installed.). I *think* you intended to point me to variables that begin
with org-agenda-todo-ignore instead. Can you confirm this is so?
My third problem is that I can not figure out how to use these variables
to accomplish my purpose. I think part of the problem is that I am
using custom agenda commands. The relevant code snippet for the command
I use most is here:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
("o" "Today's Tasks"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1))) ;; limits the agenda
display to a single day
(todo "TODO"))
((org-agenda-compact-blocks t)
))
etc...
Would you please give me some more information?
Thank you,
:AMN:
