Why do it by hand?
See my last post "fast & easy horizontal lines"...

levels, stop-loss revisions, etc etc.

simply right-click, type in the value, and hit enter.  Easy and 
quick.  In AmiBroker, you right-click, tab to the second field-entry 
box, type in a value, tab twice more to the second box, type the same 
value in again, and hit Enter.

Or am I just being an irritating little thing? :)  We've seen so many 
BIG changes in the wonderful beta versions recently, I would have 
thought that a small change like this would be easy, but I'm no 
programmer ;)
