>  >
>  >  a.. new AFL function
>  >  ParamStyle("name", default = styleLine, mask = maskDefault ) - allows
> to
>  > select the styles applied to plot
>  >
>  >  b.. new constants:

>  >  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

>  > 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
