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.
