OK, I got it to work, but the requirement is to fill in all boxes in the new data area (O/H/L/C) or else fill in just the Close box. Filling in just the Open/H/L boxes will not let the data be entered.
I think this is how the Help file should be changed to make it more clear:
Select (new) entry
Enter time/date
Enter price data in every box (If you are entering a single value, it must be entered in every box (O/H/L/C) or the Close box or the new data will not be added to the database.
Click OK or click on another row in the list other than (new).
I guess it is obvious to everyone else using AB that adding new data means to fill in every box, even if the values are the same. Actually, the Quote Editor could be changed to accept and make the same ANY value entered in any box. Would avoid this little problem for any one else like me who tries to enter a value in only one box.

Ken,
Few facts:
1. You can not edit quotes in external data source using Quote Editor
2. If you use ASCII importer to import the data for symbol already
existing in your external data source then nothing will be imported.
3. If you import the data for symbols that are NOT present in the database, newly imported symbols are marked by ASCII importer as
"use only local database for this symbol" (See Information window for details), so they are EXCLUDED from the update via plugin.
This is useful if you want to import some other data (even not quote data) and access it via Foreign function while using your
external database.
(this is actually described in User's Guide: Tutorial: How to work with Real-Time data plugins, but actually
applies to all plugins, not only real time)
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
