Hello,
I did this, and AmiBroker up and running, but still nothing happens
when I click the script.
I got the script and URLGet.exe both in C:\Yahoo a new directory I
made.
Amibroker is installed in c:\programfiles\amibroker
So I don't have a clue how to go about this. I have a windows 98
machine with IE 5.5 so what is wrong here?
Thanks for help
