Hi Matt:

I expected completion to work on Category names, in this case
DM_Tasks.  It worked like that when I had only the single todo.org
file, when my org-refile-targets was nil.  It finds headlines (such as
Tasks) just fine.

Thanks for letting me know.  As I wrote earlier, I'm happy with the
solution.
I will clean up my org files to match current convention.
