OK this is really my first contribution back to those who may lay 
behind me. It is a small payment to those who take time to help me in 
here and at AB support . 

I have just been able to fully rig up australian share market info on 
delayed 20 min or LIVE (if u use QT and have a commsec account or 
similar) .
BElow is what I have done including modifying the ab IMPORT.FORMAT 
file to cope with the XXX.AX in yahoos aussie database and the *.txt 
files you need for aMIQUOTE to import historicals and SYNC up in AB 
without the nasty AX sumbols .

:-) thanks to people here and SUPPORT in helping me with all AB stuff.

CREATE A CLEAN NEW DATABASE 
-in Amibroker goto files/new and create a new 

database say d:\YAHOO_ASX


- create a file and call it eg- mauriesyahooasx.txt
- it should CONTAIN  the shares u want to import 
- should look like below format

AEO AEO.ax
AAC AAC.ax
ABC ABC.ax
ABS ABS.ax
ADB ADB.ax
ADZ ADZ.ax
AGL AGL.ax
AFD AFD.ax
AHD AHD.ax
 
....etc

- create a second file mauresasx.txt and format it 

like this 
- you need this to import into amiquote

AEO
AAC
ABC
ABS
ADB
ADZ
AGL
AFD
AHD


- goto main amibroker directory\formats and modify 

the file -  ,in my case, 

D:\programfiles\amibroker\formats\ import.types in 

Amibroker\formats directory with a text editor.

- note below yahasx is just a filename.
- now add below line in import.types file

MauriesyahooASX format (*.txt)|*.txt|yahasx.format

- create file   yahasx.format and put in line

$FORMAT ticker alias
$AUTOADD 1
$CONT 1
$GROUP 254
$DEBUG 1
$NOQUOTES 1

- save it into directory of the main Amibroker 

database\formats, in my case 

D:\programfiles\amibroker\formats\

- d:\programfiles\amibroker\formats\

- open amibroker GOTo files > openasci
- select file type mauriesyahooasx.txt
- look for mauriesyahooasx.txt file
- press ok and you should see yre symbols now 

appear empty of data in Amibroker

-OPEN amiquote and  goto tools\setup and make sure 

destination folder is set to yre database

- goto EDIT>add tickers
- cut and paste the data in mauresasx.txt file and 

press enter
- now press source as YAHOO HISTORICAL EOD
- press play and watch amibroker fill data between 

dates that you select
- when done change source to YAHOO CURRENT and 

watch amibroker keep delayed 20 min time current 

day times
:-)
