In agenda, you can filter by category by pressing '<' when point on that
particular category. To remove filtering, press '<' again. All this is
explained in the org-mode info. However the initial agenda buffer,
viewed by 'C-c a', gives the keys '<' for filtering but '>' to remove
the restriction. This surely is wrong since '>' is the key to call the
org-agenda-date-prompt, or am I missing something very basic here?
Nest wishes,
Colin Baxter.

You are misunderstanding agenda buffer and the initial agenda dialog.
The former is where "<" acts as category filter. The dialog uses "<" to
set agenda restriction, as it is explained in the dialog message.

Indeed. I understand that, but the question was about '>' not '<'. The
initial agenda buffer has
< Buffer, subtree/region restriction
> Remove restriction
If I remove the restriction with >, as suggested by the initial buffer,
I get the date prompt. I have to enter either '<' again or '|' to clear
the restrictions. This information is given only in org-mode info not in
the initial agenda buffer.

Initial prompt buffer only describes bindings for that buffer.
They are totally different from agenda-mode buffer.
I don't see any issue.

That is not correct for the '<' key. You are told "Restriction is only
possible in Org buffers". In my opinion the distinction of the '<' key
should be more positively indicated. The wording and arrangement of the
prompt buffer is confusing at best. It is disheartening when the
difficulties experienced by a non-specialist seem to be dismissed
out-of-hand.

I feel like we are misunderstanding each other here.
Could you please try to describe what you are confused about with more
examples or in other words?
