Hi Rich,

(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "VERIFY" "|" "DONE")))

If you want specific colours you can add something like this:

(setq org-todo-keyword-faces '(("TODO" :foreground "blue" :weight bold)
			       ("VERIFY" :foreground "red" :weight bold)
			       ("DONE" :foreground "forest green" :weight bold)))

You'll need to reload the vars in your org file for changes to take
effect.  I have a

  #+STARTUP: showall

at the top of each of my files and I just C-c C-c on it.

HTH,
Bernt
