I get pretty decent mileage out of this command (note that it's a 
tags search, not a todo keyword search.)   (add-to-list 
'org-agenda-custom-commands '("." "Closed this week."  tags 
"CLOSED>\"<-1w>\"" ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy 
'(priority-down)))))  Though now I've got a related question.

One thing I'd like to do is run a function over every item that 
was closed this past week.  For sake of example, let's say I've 
added a property ":mood: 5" to several closed items and I'd like 
to delete it (but only from the closed items; I'm not necessarily 
deleting the property globally.)

To do this I tried pulling all the closed items, visiting them in 
turn, and calling (org-delete-property "mood").  But I got stuck 
pulling all the closed items, because `org-tags-view' and friends 
all build an agenda as a side effect.

Is my best bet simply re-implementing the parts of `org-tags-view' 
that I need?

Or is there a more common way to use the org machinery to work 
with items in lisp code? 

Thanks!
