For some reason my reply didn't come thru so I'll try again.
I also had problems finding answers in the help section and found I
wasn't doing it right. I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
I typed Metastock in the search box and got 13 titles. If you double
click the titles they bring up a page on the right and all words with
Metastock or whatever you typed will be highlighted.
Were you aware of this?
