If you want the action to appear in the Due perspective, you'll want to change the due date to fall within whatever "Due Soon is in the next" period you've chosen in the Data pane of preferences. (For a task you want to do every day, you'll probably want matching start and due dates, with the former happening in the morning, and the latter sometime before bedtime.)
Hope this helps!

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
Wow, OF does not have the behavior I want at all!
I'll pass on OF. I don't want to modify how I work to be consistent with the software; it should be the other way around (at least configurably).
I would want to have a start date and end date and a repeat frequency. If the frequency (day a task repeats each week) is within the "Due" date number of days, then it should show up in the Due "soon" perspective. Period. If it doesn't, OF isn't the product for me.
"Things" works as I expect, though it's rather rudimentary and I'd rather use OF if it worked as I expected...
