Ah, I see! A lisp list, not a list on the screen.

I think something like this would generate a such a list:

(org-map-entries '(cons (nth 4 (org-heading-components))
                         (list (org-get-deadline-time nil)))
                  "/!TODO" 'agenda)

Each item in the list would look something like this:

("Test" (23000 24400))

You could then feed the list to whatever function you'd like.

Best,
Matt
