Why don't you use the agenda view for this? It shows you exactly one week, you can turn on log-mode with "l" to show the done stuff. If you want to do a specific set of files, or if you want to turn off (for example) diary entries, see section 8.9.3 in the manual. > - When using "C-c $" to move DONE entries to the archive file, the > close date of the entry is changed to the current date.

In 4.57, when you use reversed order, it will now paste just before the first headline in the buffer, and it will use level 1 instead of 2. Level 2 does not make sense at the beginning of the buffer. > - Coloring: I was able to specify other faces for some of my TODO > keywords (ie. SCHED) using 'font-lock-add-keywords'.

Fontification in the agenda buffer is not done using font-lock-mode, but is done by hand while the buffer is being build. You best bet for hacking this is to use the hook `org-finalize-agenda-hook' and put in there a function that will find those keywords and give them different faces. However, this will still be a problem when you are using commands that update lines in the agenda buffer - these updated lines will not see the action of the hook.... Thanks for your bug reports and input. - Carsten
