I have the "To Do" block showing in MyGedView however, I'd like to report or list (PDF or to screen) the list, which is VERY long (no count is shown but goes back months). Unlike the Research Assistant, the little window doesn't allow viewing of the details.

I believe (don't quote me on this, however) that you can add reports to the various modules by simply having a "reports" subdirectory within the proper reports subdirectory, and then putting your new report script there. Since not everyone uses the Research Assistant or has it installed, you shouldn't put such module-specific reports in the standard "reports" subdirectory.
Don't forget to update the module-specific language files with any new language texts called up by your new report.

The report/list (any output other than the module on MyGedView) would be for _TODO gedcom tag, not Research Assistant which I am trying to wean away from.

When I list Tasks in Research Assistant, I see:
Task Name
Description
Start Date (CHAN date would be equiv)
which contain some of the info I want. Additional to that would be the applicable SOUR and TEXT instead of Description. This is the **concept** I want to see as a _TODO report.
I assume that I'd have to
= "write the report" (HTML layout)
= determine how to call the desired tags/info data and display),
= figure out how to trigger it from the Reports menu in order to make it happen.
= call the intermediary step of having the Enter report values menu show.
Sounds too advance for my skills but, am asking so that I understand what's involved. The HTML aspect of layout is the "easy" part, of course. It's all the coding around that which stumps me.
I'm caught because was told RA isn't supported so switch over to _TODO but now can't see the list of items that I need to attend to without going to every record.

You'll have to write a report script for this.

Sorry, the text should have been '… "reports" subdirectory within the proper module subdirectory …'

The _TODO tag is not part of the GEDCOM specification. If you want to report on it, you'll have to create your own report script.
Guess that's not possible with zero knowledge of PHP. Will switch back to Research Assistant.
