Of course, [almost] any problem has a solution.
You may create your own FullName function fn().
It will give the fullname even after a SetForeign() call.
You only need to create [once] the NfN comma separated string.
Example:
NfN="IBM,International Business Machines Co.,INTC,Intel
Corporation,MSFT,Microsoft Corp.";
g="";
function fn()
{
for(n=0;n<10;n=n+2)
{
SetForeign("IBM");
if(Name()==StrExtract(NfN,n))
{
g= g+StrExtract(NfN,n+1)+",";
}}
return g;
}
Title=Name()+" "+fn();
