If you intend to put all your agenda files in the same directory (e.g. ~/org/) maybe you should consider using this setting instead: (custom-set-variables ;; other settings '(org-agenda-files (quote ("~/org")))) > (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s)" > "WAITING(w@/!)"

This block does not close properly. I am attaching a modified setup file. You could try customising starting from that. Put it in your home and rename it to .emacs. To start customising, after loading org just do: M-x customize-variable M above stands for meta. I don't know how the meta keys are mapped on a Mac, but I think pressing ESC and x separately should do the trick. This will prompt you for a variable to customise. The rest of the interface is self explanatory. You can use a similar interface to customise faces too. M-x customize-face Good luck. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
