Thanks, the following now works as one element of
org-agenda-custom-commands:

("f" "List TODO entries scheduled for the future"
 todo ""
 ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'past)
  (org-agenda-skip-function
   '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notscheduled))))

I see now that this is mentioned in Appendix 7 in the manual... With
orgmode, the problem seems to be not whether some functionality is
implemented, but where to find it.
