Why thanks :)



Been a while since I've been able to play with my Org, but thanks for the info.

Finding http://orgmode.org/manual/Matching-tags-and-properties.html helped. I
ended up with

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(
	("c" "Context Next Tasks" 
	 tags-todo (concat
			  "SCHEDULED=\"\"+{" 
			  (mapconcat 'car my-org-context-tag-alist "\\|")
			  "}|SCHEDULED<=\"<today>\"+{"
			  (mapconcat 'car my-org-context-tag-alist "\\|")
			  "}/NEXT")
	 ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tag-up))
	  (org-agenda-overriding-header "Context Next Tasks")
	  ))
))

which seems a little clunky, but works :)  BTW, why does one need to escape the
pipe (|) character for regexes? Caused me a bit if head scratching till I looked
carefully at you example.
 
Thanks
Neilen
