There seems to be an "available space" issue for some screen
resolutions, but the descriptive name would be nice somewhere.

Play around with moving and resizing window frames, then "Snapshot
Windows". I have no wasted space.
You can also play around with layering windows on top of one
another, and my importers won't mess them up with an "arrange".
The side-effect is that, with long histories, the more windows open,
the longer it takes to update graphs.

I have suggested taking out the graph icons to make it narrower (I
never use them anyway) and using a fly-out tool bar similar to
PageStream 3.2's. This would have the side-effect of needing to
use a narrower Select window, or something similar.

You too, huh? In the world of fishbowl monitor screens, rulers *are*
needed. There is a current display of chart values which only
indicate the figure for the latest set of data. Maybe this could
change for a different selection in the main window, too?

You are refering to "cycle analysis", Terry.

Times sound right, Terry. Tomasz & I have discussed this and part of
the problem is the slow AmigaDOS. He has done about as much
as possible to keep this this fast, although the following needs
to change, too.

I believe it will resave all data even if you delete a ticker, too.

Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it!

I, for one, would be interested in hearing a comparison.
