Thanks for your reply. The first trick worked fine.
For the second problem though, I 'd not like to cycle through the
states. That's coz each time I change the state, I have to log it.
So I am trying to define a single key that lets me jump straight to the
DONE state (from any other state). C-c C-t C-c works okay coz the last
'c' chooses the DONE state from the menu.
Any ideas how I can define a simpler key for this? Thanks.
V.

C-c C-t and C-u C-c C-t both bind to the same function. The C-u just
provides a prefix value of 4 to the function so it can behave
differently (displaying the menu of todo choices)
You probably want to set
(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)
so that C-c C-t shows the menu by default.

If you have your todo states defined in sequences you can use S-left
arrow and S-right arrow to cycle between the states quickly.
I use the following TODO settings:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s!)" "|"
"DONE(d!/!)")
(sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "SOMEDAY(s)" "|"
"CANCELLED(c@/!)")
(sequence "QUOTATION(q!)" "QUOTED(Q!)" "|"
"APPROVED(A@)" "EXPIRED(E@)" "REJECTED(R@)")
(sequence "OPENPO(O!)" "|" "CLOSEDPO(C@)")
(sequence "|" "NOTE(n)" "PHONE(T)")))
so if I have a task
* TODO Do something
then S-right arrow moves to STARTED and a second time moves to DONE
HTH,
