P,

Thanks for the reply and the suggestions to read the Help files. I'll 
assure you I will search the Help files prior to posting a question. 
That doesn't always mean that I won't overlook or misunderstand the 
help files, but I will look.

Now ... just where on the Tools/Preferences menu do you set gridlines 
for oscillators and not for the price, etc. panes? The only gridline 
preference I have located is the color preference and this is applied 
universally.
