I'll have to look into this, it might be enough for what i need. I
currently use a context 'tag' at the beginning of the task and then
use a shell script to grab them from my project files.

Hmm you have a good point and on reflection i think the extra prompt
may turn out to be less useful. Currently if i forget to put a
context 'tag' at the beginning of my tasks it shows up when i print
out my Next Action list, and i correct them... it is low cost when i
forget, my prompt is an up front cost on every task. Maybe i should
have done a better usability study with my user community (me).

Oh i think you give me too much credit [grin]
Thanks for the feedback, I'll go look at your sorting functions
tonight; but after trying out planner-trunk i think i really like the
way it breaks out the sections which will allow me to visually jump
right to the context i want. I'll have to try both ways and see which
works better.
