Maybe I have asked the obvious.
I found a note in the org manual about this variable:

(setq org-todo-keywords '((type "Fred" "Sara" "Lucy" "|" "DONE")))


Also, I have found and installed the following in a file:

#+TYP_TODO: TODO MAYBE WAITING NEXT DONE ONGOING

How can I use both?  Does the file variable override the variable in 
.emacs.el? 

Perhaps I should have done more research, but I still would very much 
appreciate comments.  I admit I am somewhat confused, and my 
implementation is not well developed.

Thank you,

Alan
