Re: Agenda not working or am I misunderstanding how it works?

[U Avalos <amscopub-mail@yahoo.com>]

Someone suggested I use the variable org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done.
It works on "standard" org files using the default todo keywords -- if I give 
a TODO item a deadline and then set it to DONE, it doesn't show up in agenda. 
Yay!

HOWEVER, if I use custom todo keywords per file, it stops working for that 
file. I'm using these keywords:

#+SEQ_TODO: TODO WAITING | PUBLISHED REJECTED

Todo items set to PUBLISHED and REJECTED still show up in the agenda. Any 
ideas?
