When I display my TODO items (with C-c a t), there's a line at the top

but I don't know what this means. How can I display all (TODO, DONE,
whatever) items?

Typing 'N r' in the buffer doesn't do it.
I think the N refers to the numeric choice (0, 1 or 2).  Have you tried,
for instance, typing "2 r"?
Ah! Thank you, Eric. That seems to explain it, except ...

'0 r' and '1 r' both show the same thing ... just TODO items. '2 r'
shows me just DONE items, so none of the options shows both TODO
and DONE items.

That's because you only have a TODO|DONE state sequence. I have a few more:

,----
| org-todo-keywords-for-agenda is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
| Its value is ("APPT" "DONE" "TODO" "CANCELLED")
`----

I believe that value was constructed by org, because I have the
following #+TODO: lines in (one or another of) my agenda files:

#+TODO: APPT | DONE

#+TODO: TODO | DONE CANCELLED


APPT and TODO are on the left of the '|' - DONE and CANCELLED are
on the right. See

    (info "(org) Workflow states")

for the meaning of  "left and right of '|'".

So when I do ``C-c a t'' I get:

,----
| Available with ‘N r’: (0)[ALL] (1)APPT (2)DONE (3)TODO (4)CANCELLED
`----

0 r gives me all APPT and TODO (N.B.: you still only get the left-of-'|'
     states)
1 r gives me APPT
3 r gives me TODO
2 r gives me DONE
4 r gives me CANCELLED

AFAIK, there is no way to get both the left-of-'|' *and* the
right-of-'|' states in one display, unless maybe you write your
own view (which I have not done, and I don't know if it's
easy/difficult/impossible).

Great! Thanks, Nick. This clears up a lot.
