Dave,
This is what I'm trying to do:

-My system requires a different parameter for each stock ie. 
different moving averages, different periods used for calculation 
etc.  Currently I have to use the Param function and interactively 
change parameters for each symbol.  When I go back to the same 
symbol; I would like to use the previous parameters that I have set 
to produce the same result I had before.  The only way that I know of 
right now is to write/store these parameters into an external file in 
the harddrive and read them back when I go back to the same symbol.

-I am currently running into problem of AB variable definition and 
initialization.  I want to have a static kind of variable which store 
the symbol and use this to conditionally read in the external file 
only a new symbol is read in.  I do not have a solution.  There might 
be other alternative which I would like to hear.

-I have successfully implemented read/write to an external file using 
combination of JScript and AFL.  Next is how to conditionally steer 
the readin or not when the new symbol is entered.
