Tomasz,

Also, I watched the Tutorial...after placing the indicators using the Drag 
and drop...say we place 3 indicators....when we right click in the pane 
...should there be an option to delete / remove the placed indicators...I do 
not see one.

> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.1 (as compared to 4.62.0)
>
>  a.. new AFL function
>  ParamStyle("name", default = styleLine, mask = maskDefault ) - allows to 
> select the styles applied to plot
>
>  b.. new constants:
>  styleHidden - a combination of styleNoDraw | styleNoRescale
>  styleDashed - dashed line
>  to be used with ParamStyle
>  maskDefault - show thick, dashed, hidden, own scale styles (this is 
> default mask for ParamStyle)
>  maskAll - show all style flags
>  maskPrice - show thick, hidden, own scale, candle, bar
>  maskHistogram - show histogram, thick, hidden, own scale, area
>
>  c.. colorCycle - accepted only by ParamColor function as default value, 
> causes that default color cycles through red, blue, green, turquoise, 
> gold, violet, bright green, dark yellow
>
>  d.. added new setting in Preferences->Charting "Ask for parameters of 
> newly inserted indicators"
>  (default = TRUE) ensures that AmiBroker displays parameter dialog when 
> inserting or dropping new indicators
>
>  e.. removed obsolete "max number of custom indicators" setting
>
>  f.. Param() function accepts 6 parameters now
>  Param("name", defvalue, min = 0, max = 100, step = 1, sincr = 0 );
>  (Only for advanced users)
>  a new parameter sincr is defines the increase of default value when more 
> than one section of the same kind is inserted (dropped) onto the chart
>  For example:
>  Periods = Param("Periods", 15, 2, 200, 1, 10 );
>  Plot( MA( P, Periods ), _DEFAULT_NAME(), ParamColor( "Color", 
> colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style") );
>
>  now when more than one moving average is dropped onto the chart then 
> subsequent moving averages default to 15, 25, 35, 45, ... and so on 
> (starting value is 15, increase per new section is 10)
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.0 (as compared to 4.61.0)
>
>  a.. implemented indicator drag and drop mechanism. See video tutorial: 
> http://www.amibroker.net/video/dragdrop1.html
>  b.. new "Chart" tab in the workspace window (lists all AFL files 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
>  k.. new parameters dialog allowing using sections (for example from 
> drag&drop generated code)
>  l.. parameters dialog displays the items in the order as they appear in 
> the formula
>  m.. fixed Y-axis scale shrinking problem occuring when styleOwnScale was 
> used for all plots
>
>  n.. Insert->Standard Charts, Insert->Custom Indicators menu options 
> removed (now everything is handled by drag & drop) (You can still insert 
> old indicators from Indicator Builder dialog though)
>
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.61.0 (as compared to 4.60.4)
>
>  a.. custom time interval support extended to N-day bars.
>
>  Now you can define N-day bars in Preferences (Intraday tab) as well as 
> you can use N-day bars via TimeFrame functions. For example
>  TimeFrameSet( 3 * inDaily ); // switch to 3-day time frame
>
>  VERY IMPORTANT:
>  inWeekly constant is now 432001 ( 5*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous version 
> it was 432000
>  inMonthly constant is now 2160001 ( 25*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous 
> version it was 2160000
>
>  It is changed because now N-day custom intervals are supported and they 
> will interfere with weekly/monthly.
>  Note that 5*inDaily is now DIFFERENT than inWeekly. 5*inDaily creates 
> 5-day bars that DO NOT necesarily cover Monday-Friday
>  while inWeekly ALWAYS creates bars that begin on Monday and end on 
> Friday. Also 25*inDaily creates 25-day bars that DO NOT necesarily 
> represent full month, while inMonthly always begins with first day of the 
> month and ends at the last day of the month
>
>  CAVEAT:
>  if your code uses hard-coded numbers like 432000 for weekly and 2160000 
> for monthly then you MUST change your code to use inWeekly constant and 
> inMonthly constant instead.
>
>
>  b.. Study properties dialog has now new checkbox
>  "Lock position" - when checked study can not be moved or re-sized
>
>  c.. ExitAtStop has a new meaning for N-BAR stop type.
>  If ExitAtStop = 0 then N-bar stop has the lowest priority (so if for 
> example profit target stop is hit on the same bar then profit target is 
> evaluated first)
>  If ExitAtStop = 1 then N-bar stop has highest priority and it is 
> evaluated before all other stops.
>  The same effect is obtained by checking "Has priority" box in AA Settings 
> window.
>
>
>  d.. new maximizing/restoring chart pane functionality available via:
>  View->Pane->Maximize
>  View->Pane->Restore
>  as well as via right click menu.
>
>  Remember that you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts for that using 
> Tools->Preferences->Keyboard
>
>  e.. New drawing tool: Arrow
>  - draws a line that ends with an arrow
>
>  f.. New drawing tool: zig-zag line
>  draws a series of connected trend lines (Hint: press ESC key to finish 
> the series)
>
>  g.. new File functions in AFL:
>
>    a.. fdelete( "filename" ) - deletes file
>    "filename" is path to the file name (relative or full path).
>    If just file name without path is specified then AmiBroker directory is 
> used, returns TRUE if file successfully deleted, FALSE otherwise
>
>    b.. fmkdir( "dirname" ) - creates (makes) a directory
>    "dirname" specifies path of the directory to be created. Please note 
> that this function creates only ONE directory at a time.
>    So if you want to create nested directory tree you have to call it 
> multiple times, for example to create C:\MyDirectory\MySubDirectory folder 
> you have to call it twice:
>
>    fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
>    fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" );
>
>    Note also that it is safe to call it even if directory already exists 
> (then no change to file system is applied)
>    Returns TRUE if directory successfully created, FALSE otherwise
>
>    c.. frmdir( "dirname" ) - removes a directory
>    "dirname" specifies path of the directory to be removed. Please note 
> that this function removes only ONE directory at a time.
>    So if you want to remove nested directory tree you have to call it 
> multiple times, for example:
>
>    fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" ); // delete nested subdir 
> first
>    fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
>
>    Note that directory must be empty before removing it otherwise it will 
> not be possible to remove it.
>    Returns TRUE if directory successfully removed, FALSE otherwise
>
