Google's not the place to look! For once. One of the main principles of Emacs, and thus of Org mode, is that it is self-documenting. You'll get a better sense of what `org-agenda-custom-commands' does, and how to use it, by hitting "C-h v org-agenda-custom-commands" than you will from any other source. There's even a clickable link to customize it. If that's not enough, read the manual: "C-h i m Org Mode <RET> g Custom Agenda Views <RET>". Do that first, then ask here! Eric
