But shouldn't it be possible to get the sparse tree with the simpler
"TODO\|INPROGRESS" regex anyway? I tried it and it worked as expected
(with GNU Emacs on Linux). The OP could also try using the Todo kwd
option, `C-c / T'. When prompted, a simple expression like
"TODO|INPROGRESS" should work. (note the absence of backslash).

Maybe some variable setting is interfering with the matching, or maybe
its an Aquamacs bug. Just a few thoughts.
