Warren,
As far as I know, you can not directly ASCII import into a watch list
yet. To get around this, I import an ASCII list into an empty group
number and then take the stocks from that group and assign them all
to a watch list using exploration. The main trick to doing this is
adding a column to the ASCII list that contains the group number I
want the list assigned to and having the correct import type defined.
If you still need help, I can post detailed example of how I do
this. I work with TC2000 data and output from Zacks web site so the
example would centered around how I do that. I've corrupted my
database enough times in the past that I've sorted out the glitches
now with my procedures. Most of the glitches have been located
upstream of the keyboard input <gr>.
