I have attached the *.tls I am currently using to this reply. When Thomaz
first set up AmiQuote, it was tied into Yahoo, so what I am downloading is
based on his original configuration. I simply start AmiQuote, select this
TLS, and everything else happens without any further input from me.

Here's where it gets tricky: Once you have downloaded the historical data,
go into AmiBroker. Select File, then Import Wizzard. Select all the AQH
files you have just downloaded by going to the very last fund in the file,
hold down the shift key and click on it with your mouse. All of the AQH
files will be highlighted. Click Open. Click Next. You will see the Define
Fields screen. In column 1, enter DMY In column 2, enter CLOSE
For all other columns, enter SKIP. Click Next. Click Finish. Voila',
you've got it!

Of course, to view your results, you will have to manually enter each
symbol into a ticker list in AmiBroker, but that will give you what you seek.

Remember, however, that all the formulae you use which rely on volume,
high/low data etc. will not respond properly because you cannot get such
information for mutual funds.

Hope this works for you.
