I needed to email Jan a little more for him to explain the procedure to
do this as I had not realised immediately that the first INS in the
customised command for the "a" custom trigger included the original
agenda. This detailed reply from Jan sorts me out perfectly - and it is
superb! orgmode++.

| You can replace the default agenda with a custom agenda if you specify
| "a" as the accesskey for the custom agenda.
| 
| To do what you want:
| - Press C-c a C to bring up the customize interface
| - Press the INS button to insert a new custom agenda
| - In the first field, where it says "Single Command", click "Value Menu"
| and select "Command series, all agenda files"
| - enter "a" as the access key
| - Under "Component", press INS. You now have the normal agenda in your
| custom agenda.
| - Press INS on the same level again. This second component will be the
| TAGS search which will appear below the standard agenda, so in the
| "Choice:" field, select "TAGS search, TODO entries only" and enter
| "FLOATING" in the "Match:" field.
| 
| Save the customize buffer with C-x C-s.
| 
| When you now press C-c a a, you will see the default agenda, followed by
| a separator line and all TODO items tagged :FLOATING: from all your
| agenda files.

I now have my sticky "Today" reminders tagged as "sticky" (not float).

Thanks Jan!
