hi list, Jan,

Thanks for your replay. Don't think I did hit a bug but that it is that I expect something to happen without creating the right settings.
I'm using Org-mode version 6.33x

I'd assumed that if I create a todo with the setup mentioned above.

Shift-Alt "text of my todo", then C-c C-t to mark it TODO and then C-c C-s to schedule it on today

I check whether the TODO is listed in the agenda with C-c-a.
This is the case. Following step is to 'select' the TODO and change it status to DONE with C-c C-t.
If I then check the agenda with C-c-a it still shows in the agenda (as DONE), though I expected the heading not to show up in the agenda because of

>> '(org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t)
>> '(org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t)
>> '(org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t)
>> '(org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t)

I thought as well that properties of the heading would change somehow but nothing happens. Curious to learn what to change in my settings.
Thanks,
Gert
