Hmmm. It worked in the minimal case, but still doesn't work in my normal environment.

Thanks, Kyle. I just tried saving one of my "real" org files as test.org, and repeated the experiment with the minimal config, and
it FAILED ... the NOTE headings did not show up.

I also tried saving the simple test.org file in my regular org files folder, and it FAILED again.

So I can't isolate either the emacs setup file or the org file itself.

I'm not sure how to do that.

8.3.2

Sorry, yes, the heading is in an agenda file. I can see TODOs and DONEs in that file.

I'm trying to add a NOTE state so that I can use agenda to quickly view a list of notes that I've embedded in various documents. I
have

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '((sequence "NOTE" "APPT" "TODO" "FEEDBACK" "VERIFY" "|" "DONE" "DELEGATED" "CANCELLED")))

in my .emacs, and I put

** NOTE This is an example of a note.

But when I view the agenda, I get this:

Global list of TODO items of type: NOTE
Available with `N r': (0)[ALL] (1)TODO (2)DONE (3)NOTE (4)APPT (5)CANCELLED (6)FEEDBACK (7)VERIFY (8)DELEGATED

and that's all. I can see that there's a NOTE state, but nothing shows up in the list.

Have I overlooked something?

Thank you!
