Thanks for your answer - however, I did come across those, and I don't believe
they would do the job I have in mind, because items must still be explicitly
labelled "TODO" before they will appear in the agenda view.


Nick,

Try using "m" instead of "t":

C-c a m LEVEL>2/-DONE RET

The "m" does a general tags/props search, instead of requiring a TODO state.

--Nate


What I mean is, give a file structure like this, where level 1 is a project
name, and level 2 contain items to do (which are not labelled TODO items,
necessarily):

* SS Organised
** scrub the deck
** man the poopdeck
** DONE splice the mainbrace

* Good ship lollipop
** NEXT lubber's teeth out
(Beware, she bites)
** fix treadmill
** scrub the deck

The workflow is TODO -> NEXT -> DONE, with TODO implicit: I consider "scrub the
deck" a TODO, even though I've not added a TODO label, because it's on level >=
2. This saves typing and reduces clutter. (The level at which TODO items lie
varies depending on my organisation scheme.)


Then I want the TODO agenda view to look something like this, so I can print it
out for reference (ideally without the duplicate TODO inserted in front of each
item, as currently seems to happen,  but that's probably another question):

Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)NEXT (3)DONE
 TODO:       scrub the deck
 TODO:       man the poopdeck
 NEXT:       lubber's teeth out
 TODO:       fix treadmill
 TODO:       scrub the deck



It might not be possible to do this currently, which is fine - I just want to
confirm that fact.  Perhaps in that case I could write my own extension, or more
preferably, adapt my scheme to something which works with org-mode as it is.

Cheers,

N
