Bastien:
I sense that your reply contains the key to the functionality that I
want but I find I am unable to figure it out. I'm sorry to bother you
further but I would be grateful for a little more direction.
My first problem is that C-h is mapped to backspace on my computer. I
presume (C-h v) means view help on a particular item.
My second problem is that org-agenda-ignore is not a valid prefix for
anything in my version of org-mode. (I have version 7.9.3d
installed.). I *think* you intended to point me to variables that begin
with org-agenda-todo-ignore instead. Can you confirm this is so?
My third problem is that I can not figure out how to use these variables
to accomplish my purpose. I think part of the problem is that I am
using custom agenda commands. The relevant code snippet for the command
I use most is here:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
("o" "Today's Tasks"
((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1))) ;; limits the agenda
display to a single day
(todo "TODO"))
((org-agenda-compact-blocks t)
))
etc...
Would you please give me some more information?
Thank you,
:AMN:

1. Add a date tag to an entry that indicates that it is "inactive" until a
certain date. I'm picturing something like this:
***** TODO [#B] Verify login to the virtual machines
SCHEDULED: <2013-01-11 Tue +1w> DELAY: <2013-01-24 Thu>
2. Add a command similar to org-deadline that I can use to attach a delay
date to a to-do item
3. When I display my agenda, items that are delayed are not displayed.
My e-lisp is pretty rusty so *any* advice or help is great. Could someone
help point me to the right files and functions I'll need to modify to
accomplish this?
C-h v org-agenda-ignore TAB will open many doors.
See C-h org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp RET for example:
Non-nil means don't show entries with a timestamp.
This applies when creating the global todo list.
Valid values are:
past Don't show entries for today or in the past.
future Don't show entries with a timestamp in the future.
The idea behind this is that if it has a future
timestamp, you don't want to think about it until the
date.
all Don't show any entries with a timestamp in the global todo list.
The idea behind this is that by setting a timestamp, you
have already "taken care" of this item.
This variable can also have an integer as a value. If positive (N),
todos with a timestamp N or more days in the future will be ignored. If
negative (-N), todos with a timestamp N or more days in the past will be
ignored. If 0, todos with a timestamp either today or in the future will
be ignored. For example, a value of -1 will exclude todos with a
timestamp in the past (yesterday or earlier), while a value of 7 will
exclude todos with a timestamp a week or more in the future.
See also `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date'. See also the variable
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' if you want to make his
option also apply to the tags-todo list.
