Tomasz,
I tried to use the Symbols ----> Categories option in AB, and I
managed to create a folder in 'Markets' with the name of NASDAQ.
What I had to do was to rename 'Market 0' to 'NASDAQ'. After I
closed the dialog I noticed that the NASDAQ folder in the 'Markets'
tree now had a lot of tickers. I did not put them there in any way,
but somehow they got there. But it seemed to me that this 'NASDAQ'
folder had too many tickers. I wanted to erase all the tickers from
the 'NASDAQ' folder so that I could import just NASDAQ tickers, so I
deleted one ticker (IBM) as a test. Now my problem is that IBM was
also deleted from the 'All' folder.
How can cleanly delete the 'NASDAQ' folder from 'Markets' and put IBM
into the 'All' folder? Should I perform another Metastock
download?
