Chris,

Thanks, this looks pretty well what I ended up with after some help off-list
(I've only realised it was off list, and thought I had already replied to
the list.

The code I ended up with is:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(
        ("d" todo #("DELEGATED") nil)
        ("c" todo #("DONE|DEFERRED|CANCELLED") nil)
        ("w" todo #("WAITING") nil)
        ("W" agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 21)))
        ("A" agenda "" ((org-agenda-skip-function
                           (lambda nil (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote
notregexp) "\\=.*\\[#A\\]")))
                        (org-agenda-ndays 1)
                        (org-agenda-overriding-header "Today's Priority #A
tasks: ")))
        ("u" alltodo "" ((org-agenda-skip-function
                          (lambda nil (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote
scheduled) (quote deadline)
                                                                (quote
regexp) "<[^>\n]+>")))
                         (org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled TODO
entries: ")))))

Which I think is the same as you suggest. And thanks for the explanations,
these were useful.

Graham
