Re: [Orgmode] Org Todo Keywords not recognized/treated as keywords

Hi Giovanni,

Thanks for your response.

org-todo-keywords is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is
((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(a!)" "WAITING (w@)" "DELEGATED (D!)" 
"SOMEDAY (s)" "|" "SKIPPED (k@)" "CANCELLED (c@)" "DONE(d!)"))

I do not have any per-file variables set except for archive locations, 
like:
#+ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Log

I've had the problem for months---just now getting around to asking 
about it, since I can manually correct the weirdness. :-) Emacs and 
Orgmode have been restarted many times while the problem persists.

I have put a full .org file here:
http://www.infomuse.net/download/example.org

I have copied the entire contents of that file between the -=-= lines below.

Thanks,
