i've read TJ's "HOWTO: Import quotes from Yahoo's site in CSV format"
found at http://www.amibroker.com/docs/ab302.html .  from this i can
figure out how to assign stocks to industry groups and so on using
info from a text file located on a local hard drive.  i want to skip
several steps and access a CSV file located on the web.

here's an example:

http://www2.standardandpoors.com/spf/csv/index/500growth.csv

the only problem i'm having is trying to figure out how in windows
script to call data from a web based source.

if that sounds easy, then how about accessing data from XLS files
stored on the net?
