Thanks all - Bill Barnard and William Peters for the great recommendations-
I have a friend who uses FastRube to a good effect by displaying multiple panels/panes to show the underlying value of a signal like RUTTR (stochastic, MACD, moving average) for example and I've reproduced this with AB but with the way I described it...reproducing all the forumulas 5 or 6 times and attaching them to all the panes and AA window. In a way I think that's how Windows work best and it maybe a difficult piece of code to generalize the launching of multiple panes from one unit of AFL, then placing and sizing panes or windows, then directing the data and displaying graphical lines in each pane.
I have used Styleownscale quite a bit in working on this but still it got cluttered - in one case I moved the ADX plot with it's PDI and MDI crossing on another pane away from the Price Moving average pane. Of course the ADX parameter and the moving average parameter were defined in the backtesting forumula.
I like William Peters idea of using includes to contain a common set of parameters/data statements(I believe I understood you to say) I believe there was a discussion about Caching versus not Caching of these INCLUDEd functions/data statements, wasn't there? I think the #pragma nocache will always bring up the most recent copy of the function Will take some planning but then there's no free lunch is there?
Best regards
JOE

Hi Joe,
Link to the Include command: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?name=%23include
If you place all your functions in an external file then you can
call them (using the Include command) from Indicator Builder, Automatic Analyzer etc
