(by contrast, "C-c a m" [tag] will display only the specific tagged items for the agenda file(s) specified in .emacs) is there a way to do this that i am missing? either by providing a file name as an argument or some other command that will return such a view for the active buffer. (one reason i don't want to add the specific file to the list of files that org-mode automatically tracks is that i want to restrict my searching of tags to specific files. but maybe i am not thinking about this the right way.) thanks.
