A few new user questions, Custom agenda views, calendar in frame, and Hyperlinks on win32

Hi Everybody

I have some fairly simple new user questions, and I am hoping you guys can help me out.

I have a few custom agenda views that I would like to create, but I am having some issues.  My files are laid out in 1 file per project, and each file starts with a level 1 outline element tagged :project:.  (I do have other file types that are appropriately tagged).    I thought that if I wanted to list all TODOs in all my (appropriately tagged) project files, it would be as easy as setting up a custom agenda command.  The one I set up had a tags-todo type, with search “project” or “+project”, but I get … well… no results.  Ideally I’d like to have a couple of different lists, all project tagged files with TODO items and all project tagged files with WAITING items.  Can someone give me a hand?  (I’m not adverse to using setq in my .emacs, in fact, that might make things a little easier for me anyways)

Secondly, I am having an issue where my Calendar is popping up in a new frame all the time, either when scheduling an item or through remember.  I’d rather it pop up in a new window instead.  Is this possible?

Finally, I am having a problem with some external links, whenever I try to visit a file like \\AWindowsServer\path\to\file  I get the error message “eval: ShellExecute failed: The system cannot find the file specified. ^M”  Is it easy to fix this?  What is going on?

I am using org 6.10c, on Emacs W32 (Emacs v 22).

Thanks!
