Bastien:

I sense that your reply contains the key to the functionality that I 
want but I find I am unable to figure it out.  I'm sorry to bother you 
further but I would be grateful for a little more direction.

My first problem is that C-h is mapped to backspace on my computer.  I 
presume (C-h v) means view help on a particular item.

My second problem is that org-agenda-ignore is not a valid prefix for 
anything in my version of org-mode.  (I have version 7.9.3d 
installed.).  I *think* you intended to point me to variables that begin 
with org-agenda-todo-ignore instead.  Can you confirm this is so?

My third problem is that I can not figure out how to use these variables 
to accomplish my purpose.  I think part of the problem is that I am 
using custom agenda commands.  The relevant code snippet for the command 
I use most is here:
     (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(
        ("o" "Today's Tasks"
         ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1)))  ;; limits the agenda 
display to a single day
          (todo "TODO"))
         ((org-agenda-compact-blocks t)
          ))
          etc...


Would you please give me some more information?

Thank you,
:AMN:
