To-do lists and other lists
You can use the To-do view to enter to-dos and other lists, for example shopping lists,
rather than entering them as untimed day entries. The Agenda then keeps them on a
To-do list until you delete them.
You can set a due dale for a to-do entry, if you like.
When you enter to-dos you give each one a priority between 1 and 9, where 1 is the
highest and 9 the lowest. Initially, all priority 1 entries are automatically shown in
the Day/Week/List views as well. Lower priority entries are only shown on their to-do
list.
You can control which priority entries should be shown in other views. As you'll see,
to-do lists can be customised in many ways. 'Set preferences' has a 'To-do view'
suboption for any overall settings for the To-do view, and a 'To-do entry defaults'
option for setting the values suggested when you enter each to-do entry. There
is also a
'To-do list settings' option on the 'To-do lists' menu, which controls the way each of the
lists work.
The To-do view
Press the • key until you reach the To-do view, or press Shift-Psion-T to move there
directly. It initially looks like this:

The To-do view initially has just one list, called 'To-do list'. The name is displayed at
the top of the screen. The cursor is on a bullet in the list.
Entering a to-do
1. Type the text for the entry, and press Enter. The 'To-do details' dialog will be
displayed. If you want this to-do to appear in the Day, Week and List views too,
leave the 'Priority' line set to '1'; if you don't, type in a lower priority.
Typically, most to-dos do not need to have dates.
2. For an undated to-do, leave the 'Dated' line set to 'No', and just press Enter.
If the undated to-do has a high enough priority to be displayed in other views, it
will be shown on "today" in the other views.
