Hm, I use a CVS emacs 3 hours old, but org-tags-list is not known
there.  I guess you mean org-tag-alist, right?

Yes, that's it.  But then the docs are wrong, too.  See

,----[ C-h v org-tag-alist RET ]
| org-tag-alist is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
| Documentation:
| List of tags allowed in Org-mode files.
| When this list is nil, Org-mode will base TAG input on what is already
| in the buffer.

| The value of this variable is an alist, the car may be (and should) be
|                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| a character that is used to select that tag through the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^
| fast-tag-selection interface.  See the manual for details.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| Value: 
| ((#("APPT" 0 4
|     (face nil))
|   . 97)
|  (#("CALL" 0 4
|     (face nil))
|   . 99)
|  (#("PURCHASE" 0 8
|     (face nil))
|   . 101))

Now I've set org-todo-keywords to

    '((sequence "TODO(T)" "STARTED(S)" "WAITING(W)"
                "|" "DONE(D)" "DEFERRED(F)" "CANCELLED(C)"))

which works, too.

But I've discovered another minor glitch.  When I toggle from CANCELLED
to TODO the CLOSED timestamp gets removed, which is a good thing.  When
I use C-c C-c T RET to do the same the timestamp persists.

Bye,
