>> CHANGE LOG
>>
>> 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
>>
