I did not take a look at the tutorial you mentioned, but I would guess
that the file list ("~/org/work.org" "~/org/school.org" ...) was only
given as an example.

If you want entries from your 1.org file to show up in the agenda, you
have to add that file to `org-agenda-files'. Org mode will go through
all the files in that list and buid the agenda from the entries it finds
in those.

So your setq should look like this:

#+begin_src elisp
  (setq org-agenda-files (list "~/org/1.org"))
#+end_src

This assumes, that your 1.org is located under ~/org.

Your todo item line must start with a TODO keyword, by default "TODO" (you
can configure more states in org), so that it looks like this

*** TODO configure 

Then it will be found in that search.

[O] using Agenda org-agenda-files variable

[Renato Pontefice]

Hi,
following this tutorial
"http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/orgtutorial_dto.html";
at this point:
"A taste of advanced features"it's written to add this text, on my init.el
file (I'm working on win).

(setq org-agenda-files (list "~/org/work.org"
 "~/org/school.org"
 "~/org/home.org"))


I've done it.

Continuing the tutorial, I find some operation to do in my org file "Press *C-c
a t* to enter the global todo list"
I do that, but I receive in the *Org Agenda* buffer, the following text:
_
Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with `N r': (0)[ALL]
__
and nothing else.
I have on my 1.org the following line:
*** configure
   SCHEDULED: <2014-01-08 mer>

So, I'm expecting, that i could find at least this TODO line on the Agenda.
But nothing...

What I've done wrong?
Do someone can link me some page example? Or something similar where I can
get help?
TIA

Renato

ps
I don' t find the file work, school and home .org, on the folder where my
org file (1.org) are stored :-( )
