A few steps
Create a new databse, then set it to MS plugin
Then in databse settings - configure - add directory - select the directory
where the MS data resides
Then while there click Retrieve Symbols button
Then you should be in business

Subject: [amibroker] Demo user needs database help
I'm looking at Amibroker for the first time and having trouble 
getting it to read my Metastock database.  I can't open the Metastock 
database directly because it isn't a "valid" Amibroker database.  So 
I try to create a New Database, and I have the data source set for 
the Metastock plugin, but when I click on "create" I always get the 
error message that the database "is not empty".  I'm using the 
default MyNewData, and I've tried another one I created called 
NewData. Either way, although both folders have a structure of 
subfolders created by Amibroker and are completely empty of visible 
files, I still get the "is not empty" error message.
I'm stuck at this point.  Can someone show me the error of my ways?  
A step by step would be very helpful, I may be missing something 
obvious although I have tried many times.  The help files are not 
specific enough to get me past this point.
Thanks,  John
