PROJ is just a normal keyword like TODO DONE etc. You would have to make it all one word like PROJTODO, PROJINPROGRESS, etc which to me feels like duplicating your standard non-project keywords. I used to do that. I don't like duplication. You might be better off designating projects with a tag instead -- or just consider everything to be a project (that's what I do) so there is no special PROJ keyword. -Bernt
