  Hmmm.  Can I do this?

  Buy=BuyCondition;
  Sell=SellCondtion;
  Short=ShortCondition;
  Cover=CoverCondition;

  Long=Flip(Buy,Sell);
  Shrt=Flip(Short,Cover);

  Darn!  That presupposes that I already have the Sell and Cover 
  conditions.  I can't see how to use this for an exit condition like this:

  Sell=Days > N AND ExitCondition;

  Am I missing something?

  I am deeply grateful for your help.
