François,
Thanks for the help on this, and sorry about the late response. I may have
asked the wrong way, but this solution is exactly what I am looking for.

I use priority, scheduled [start times] and deadlines in the following way;
A tasks need to be done today
B tasks need to be done in the next 14 days
C tasks need to be done in 30 days or more
With each type of task only showing up when scheduled to start and
deadlines only being true deadlines not "fake".

The issue sometimes is that with routine/repeating items that have to be
done a specific day (which are normally an "A" task) I do not want to see
them until they need to be done (based on the scheduled date). So what I
was doing was removing the priority to make them not show up in a view for
mobileorg. Or the next scenario would be something that has a deadline that
I really do not want to see until a determined time (based on the scheduled
start time).
