Ah ha!   So if I set the To: box for Start Date to Today+30,  then I
will also see tasks that are due to start in the next 30 days.
That's useful.

But presumably not:
*   tasks which are dependent on another task which has yet to be
completed;  nor
*   tasks which are not the first sub-task in a 'Complete subtasks in
order' list

What I wanted was something that would show me all my current and
upcoming tasks ignoring any dependencies
