Hi Fil,

I just found the B f code to execute an arbitrary function on marked
entries in the agenda.  Maybe this will help?

This following code visits the marked entries and just displays the
heading for the task.

Mark multiple entries in the agenda with 'm' and then 'B f bh/test RET'
should display the heading of each marked task in the *Messages* buffer.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun bh/test ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((marker (or (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker)
		     (org-agenda-error)))
	 (buffer (marker-buffer marker))
	 (pos (marker-position marker)))
    (with-current-buffer buffer
      (if (org-mode-p)
	  (save-excursion
	    (goto-char pos)
	    (message "%s" (nth 4 (org-heading-components))))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Depending on what you want to do you can either act on marked entries or
create a custom agenda skip function that can visit the tasks as the
agenda is built.

HTH,
Bernt
