tutorial: http://www.amibroker.net/video/dragdrop1.html

and directories from "Formulas" subfolder) 
>   c.. Automatic Analysis formula window is now drag&drop target 
too (you can drag formulas and AFL files onto it) 
>   d.. new AFL special functions used to automatically create 
formulas from code snipplets dragged onto the the indicator pane.
>   _SECTION_BEGIN, _SECTION_END, _SECTION_NAME, _DEFAULT_NAME, 
_PARAM_VALUES 
>   e.. new styleNoTitle causing that given Plot name and values are 
not included in the title bar of the indicator 
>   f.. new ParamField function allowing to pick price field 
>   g.. new ParamToggle function allowing for boolean (Yes/No) 
parameters 
>   h.. In Tools->Preferences , Keyboard you can how define single 
key shortcut for maximizing and restoring chart pane via View : 
PaneToggle 
>   i.. "Allow mixed EOD/intraday data" switch does not affect N-day 
bars anymore 
>   j.. Parameters are not reset to default values when changing the 
formula- user-edited values are kept

from drag&drop generated code)

appear in the formula

styleOwnScale was used for all plots

first day of the month and ends at the last day of the month

evaluated before all other stops.

Please note that this function creates only ONE directory at a time.

call it multiple times, for example to create 
C:\MyDirectory\MySubDirectory folder you have to call it twice:

exists (then no change to file system is applied)
